Style Information |
The English Barleywine is generally a less bitter version of the American Barleywine. Hop notes are subdued because English hop varieties are usually (but not always) used in the style. Like the American Barleywine, this basic barleywine style is intended to be appreciated for the complexity of the flavors. The high alcohol content generally means that it can be aged for long periods, sometimes many years. The color should range from medium copper to Dark brown to black in some examples. The aroma should be very strong and dominated by the high malty sweetness. There should also be notes of fruits, toasted grains and caramel. Alcohol notes should be strong. Hop notes should be very subdued or nonexistent. The taste should also be dominated by the malts and alcohol, similar to the aroma. The feel should be very full bodied. ABV generally ranges from 8% to 12% and sometimes considerably higher. IBUs should range from 40 to 60. |
