English Barleywine 13.3 º

Salikatt

This English Barley Wine presents a masterful fusion of traditional malt depth and extended maturation. After eighteen months in selected bourbon barrels, the profile radiates rich layers of toffee, dark caramel, and toasted bread derived from British pale ale and crystal malts. The 13.3% ABV provides a substantial foundation, while the barrel influence contributes sophisticated notes of vanilla, charred oak, and a whisper of coconut. Dried fruit esters—reminiscent of raisins and figs—mingle with a soft, vinous character. Despite its strength, the mouthfeel remains velvety and luscious, finishing with a balanced, lingering sweetness and complex, spirit-like warmth.

Appearance. Deep mahogany with brilliant clarity and ruby highlights; pours with a thin, creamy off-white head that fades quickly, leaving viscous legs on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity of rich caramel and dark toffee malt, complemented by pronounced notes of raisin, prune, and dried fig; the bourbon barrel aging adds layers of vanilla, charred oak, and a soft, spirituous warmth.

Taste. A multi-layered palate of biscuit and sweet caramel malt balanced by moderate earthy hop bitterness; flavors of plum and molasses are enhanced by oak-derived vanilla, ending in a long, warming, and slightly vinous finish.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and exceptionally chewy with a velvety, luscious texture; low carbonation and a significant, smooth alcohol warmth that avoids harshness.
