    Buying a Barley Wine

    Barley wine is a beer style with a bold and robust character. This beer is high in alcohol and often has a deep, dark colour. Some variants can reach an alcohol content of up to 18%. With its powerful and bitter, hoppy taste, barley wine is a must-try for fans of quadrupel beers. Explore our extensive range and order a delicious barley wine today!

    Barley Wine Styles

    Barley wines are brewed in two distinct styles: the American style and the English style. The main difference lies in the type of hops used. In America, brewers typically use American hop varieties, while English barley wines are crafted with English hops. This difference in hops creates a noticeable variation in flavour.

    American-style barley wine tends to be much more bitter, with a more pronounced hop flavour. This style is also known for its toffee and caramel-like aromas.

    If you prefer a milder barley wine, the English style is likely more to your taste. These beers feature lower levels of bitterness and hoppiness, offering a smoother finish and more subtle flavours.

    The Brewing Process of Barley Wine

    Barley wine owes its rich aroma to the variety of malts used during the brewing process. Roasted and dark malts are commonly included, along with malts that impart chocolate or caramel notes. To balance the sweet tones of these malts, extra hops are often added, enhancing the beer's overall complexity.

    Whiskey and Bourbon Aromas

    To add even more depth, some barley wines are aged in wooden barrels. These barrels often previously held whiskey, port, rum, bourbon, wine, or sherry, allowing the beer to absorb the intricate aromas that have soaked into the wood over the years. By ageing the beer in such barrels, these rich flavours infuse into the barley wine.

    It’s not just barley wines that benefit from barrel ageing. Ciders, wild ales, and imperial stouts are also well-suited to develop additional flavours through this process. If you’re already familiar with the profile of a classic barley wine, why not try a barrel-aged version for an extra layer of complexity?
