American Barleywine 12 º

Two Roads Brewing Company

This American Barleywine presents a luminous take on the style, leaning into its unique blonde character with a base of rich heirloom malts. The aroma is dominated by aggressive Northwest hops, offering bold layers of citrus zest and resinous pine that compete with a deep, bready malt sweetness. At 12% ABV, it delivers a potent yet velvety experience, where the initial honeyed malt complexity is rapidly countered by a firm, assertive bitterness typical of the style. The finish is remarkably warming and lingering, showcasing a sophisticated balance between New World hop intensity and a substantial, chewy malt backbone.

Appearance. Deep gold to pale amber (9-12 SRM) with brilliant clarity and visible legs upon swirling. Features a moderately-sized, off-white head with fair retention and fine lacing.

Aroma. High intensity; prominent Northwest hop notes of grapefruit peel, resin, and floral pine. Supported by a rich, bready, and slightly honey-like heirloom malt character. Moderate fruity esters and a clean, noticeable alcohol warmth are present.

Taste. Initial impression is of bold malt richness featuring biscuit and toasted grain flavors. High hop bitterness and flavor—predominantly citrus and resin—provide a sharp counterpoint. Moderate esters of dried apricot. The finish is long and warming, balanced toward bitterness but retaining a malty sweetness.

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