This English Barley Wine presents a masterful fusion of rich British malt and local terroir. Pouring a deep amber with ruby highlights, it leads with an aroma of toffee, toasted bread, and dried fruits, uniquely accented by the delicate, floral sweetness of local pears. On the palate, a complex malt backbone of caramel and biscuit supports layers of ripe pear and dark fruit esters. The high alcohol provides a smooth, vinous warmth, while earthy English hops offer a subtle counterpoint to the lingering, velvety finish. It is a decadent, full-bodied sipper with a luscious, chewy texture and sophisticated depth.
Appearance.Deep amber to dark mahogany with ruby highlights; brilliant clarity; low, off-white head with modest retention; high viscosity is evident through thick legs on the glass.
Aroma.High intensity of rich, bready malt with deep toffee and caramel notes; pronounced fruitiness including dried raisins and figs, specifically enhanced by the floral and sweet scent of local pears; very low earthy hop aroma and a soft, rounded alcohol character.
Taste.Strong, complex malt sweetness with flavors of biscuit, dark caramel, and toffee; the local pears provide a distinct fermented fruit layer that interacts with traditional dark fruit esters; bitterness is moderate and supportive, preventing cloying sweetness; finish is long and warming with a vinous, sherry-like complexity.
Mouthfeel.Full-bodied and exceptionally chewy; velvety, luscious texture; prominent but smooth alcohol warmth; low carbonation contributes to a heavy, mouth-coating presence.
