Kees Barley Wine
This American Barleywine from Brouwerij Kees presents a deeply contemplative experience, pouring a rich red-brown with enticing ruby highlights. The sensory journey is defined by a bold interplay between assertive American hop character—offering lively resinous and fruity notes—and a robust, sweet malt backbone of caramel and toasted bread. At 11.5% ABV, it delivers a sophisticated, velvety warmth that lingers pleasantly. The initial sweetness transitions into a firm, moderately aggressive bitterness, ensuring a balanced, full-bodied finish. It is a soft yet powerful ale, perfectly crafted for slow sipping and armchair reflection.
Appearance. Deep copper to red-brown with distinct ruby highlights; clear with depth. Off-white to light tan head with moderate to low retention; slight legs visible on the glass.
Aroma. High intensity. Dominant aromas of rich caramel, toasted bread, and light toffee. Assertive American hop presence with notes of citrus zest, pine resin, and stone fruit. Moderate fruity esters and a noticeable but smooth alcohol presence.
Taste. Powerful initial malt sweetness featuring layers of deep caramel and biscuit. Balanced by moderately strong hop bitterness and flavors of grapefruit and resin. Low to moderate esters of dark fruit. The finish is full and somewhat sweet but punctuated by a lingering hop-bitter dryness. Noticeable alcohol warmth that remains clean and non-solventy.
Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and chewy with a luscious, velvety texture. Carbonation is moderate. Significant smooth alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated without being harsh.
