Brasserie Dunham

This English Barley Wine presents a decadent, multi-layered sensory experience, marrying the deep toffee and rich caramel of traditional British malts with the refined influence of Ruby Port barrel aging. The wood introduces vibrant notes of succulent red berries and a vinous complexity that balances the beer’s inherent sweetness. Maple syrup enhances the profile with an earthy, wood-fired sugar depth that integrates seamlessly into the dense, chewy body. Sophisticated and warming, the palate reveals a sophisticated interplay of dried fruits and soft oak tannins, finishing with a lingering, smooth alcohol presence and a refined, fortified wine character.

Appearance. Deep copper to dark mahogany with brilliant ruby highlights; pours with a thin, creamy off-white head that shows low retention but leaves visible legs on the glass (SRM 18-22).

Aroma. High intensity of rich caramel and toffee maltiness, layered with a distinct vinous character of red grapes, plum, and cherry from the Port barrels; a subtle, woody sweetness from maple syrup mingles with soft, rounded alcohol and faint earthy hops.

Taste. Initial impression is a surge of malty sweetness featuring layers of biscuit and dark caramel; complex dark fruit flavors like raisin and fig are heightened by Ruby Port notes of raspberry and oak; the maple syrup provides a unique earthy richness toward the finish; bitterness is low to moderate, allowing the malt and barrel to lead; finishes moderately sweet and lingering.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and chewy with a velvety, luscious texture; carbonation is low to moderate, providing just enough lift against the viscosity; significant, smooth alcohol warmth without any harsh burn.
