The Queer Brewing Project The Endless Gloom
Barleywine 9 º
The Endless Gloom is a sophisticated English Barleywine that bridges traditional roots with modern hop character. A base of Maris Otter and Munich malts provides a robust foundation of toffee, dark caramel, and rich dried fruit notes. This intense maltiness is elegantly countered by a unique hop blend featuring UK Chinook, US Cascade, and HBC472, which introduce layers of resinous pine, bright citrus, and distinctive wood-like nuances. Fermented with a Californian ale yeast for a clean profile, the beer balances its significant 9% ABV with a firm bitterness. The result is a complex, warming sipper that harmonizes deep malty sweetness with a lingering, sweet fruit and earthy finish.
Appearance. Deep copper to dark brown (18-22 SRM) with brilliant clarity and ruby highlights. Pours with a low, off-white head that has modest retention and leaves slight lacing. Visible legs are apparent when the glass is swirled, indicating high viscosity.
Aroma. High intensity with a very rich, strongly malty character featuring toasty Maris Otter, dark toffee, and caramel. Moderate dried fruit esters of plum and raisin are present. The hop aroma is moderate, offering piney UK Chinook, grapefruit-tinged US Cascade, and a subtle cedar or sandalwood note from HBC472. Alcohol is soft and well-integrated.
Taste. Initial impression is a medium-high malty sweetness with complex layers of biscuit, bread, and deep caramel. Mid-palate introduces moderate fruitiness reminiscent of dried figs and sweet currants. Hop flavor is moderate, leaning toward citrus zest and earthy resin. Bitterness is firm, providing enough structure to balance the malt without being aggressive. The finish is moderately sweet with a lingering toffee and woody aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and chewy with a velvety, luscious texture. Carbonation is low to moderate. A smooth, comforting alcohol warmth is present but remains well-rounded and lacks any harsh burning sensation.
