Notes From a Homebrewer
English Barleywine, 9% abv
The long wait is over, and what a wait it has been. Brewed way back in May 2011 this malty, sweet brew was an exercise in patience. Racked onto a yeast cake from a previous batch of English ale created a vigorous, and near violent, fermentation that had the carboy at near blow off levels. Sampled a couple after a few weeks of bottle conditioning and it was clear these needed time to age/mature. After 2+ months in the bottle they have finally come around. Good levels of carbonation and a mellowing of the strong alcohol flavor have made this a good winter beer to sip during these cold nights.
Cheers!
