English Barleywine 11.4 º 45 IBU

ROTT. Brouwers

This English Barley Wine is a powerful showcase of British brewing tradition, presenting a dense, mahogany-hued pour with viscous legs reflecting its 11.4% strength. The aroma is a luxurious tapestry of rich caramel, toasted bread, and deep toffee, punctuated by a dark fruit profile of raisins and dried figs. On the palate, a profound malt sweetness unfolds with layers of biscuit and marmalade-like English hops, providing an earthy balance to the intense, chewy body. A smooth, velvety warmth lingers through the finish, accompanied by a subtle vinous character that marks this as a sophisticated, wintertime sipper.

Appearance. SRM 15-20; deep amber to dark copper with ruby highlights. Head is low to moderate, off-white, with moderate retention. Brilliant clarity with visible legs/viscosity on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity of rich, bready malt, caramel, and toffee. Pronounced dark fruit esters resembling plum and raisin. Moderate hop aroma is earthy and floral. Noticeable but smooth and rounded alcohol presence.

Taste. Initial impression is of deep, multi-layered malty sweetness featuring bread, biscuit, and caramel. High fruitiness with dark or dried fruit aspects. Moderate hop bitterness provides balance against the malt-forward profile. Finish is moderately sweet with a lingering, warming alcohol character and a touch of vinous complexity.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and chewy with a velvety, luscious texture. Carbonation is low to moderate. Significant, smooth alcohol warmth is present without being harsh or hot.
