English Barleywine 16.1 º

Firstep

Firstep Rumur is a monumental English Barley Wine that pushes the boundaries of the style through intensive rum barrel aging. At a formidable 16.1% ABV, it presents a rich tapestry of deep toffee and treacle malt notes, interwoven with the spiced complexity of aged rum. The sensory experience is dominated by dark, dried fruits like raisins and figs, further elevated by the oak’s contribution of vanilla and toasted sugar. A velvety, luscious texture coats the palate, balanced by a significant yet smooth alcohol warmth. This is a profound sipping beer, showcasing a masterful integration of spirit and malt.

Appearance. Deep mahogany to dark brown with brilliant ruby highlights; a thin, creamy off-white head with low retention and high viscosity that leaves prominent legs on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity of rich, bready malt, deep caramel, and treacle; strong dark fruit esters reminiscent of raisins and prunes; significant rum-derived notes of molasses, oak, and vanilla; alcohol is noticeable but rounded.

Taste. Massive malt sweetness featuring complex layers of biscuit, toffee, and burnt sugar; high fruitiness with notes of dried cherries and figs; low earthy English hop flavor; moderate bitterness that is largely overshadowed by malt; finishes with a lingering, sweet, and vinous complexity.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and exceptionally chewy with a velvety, luscious texture; low to moderate carbonation; significant, smooth alcohol warmth that provides a soothing sensation without harshness.
