About Barleywine

Barleywines are robust, high-ABV ales that deliver intense malt richness and layered complexity.

Full-bodied and warming, they feature flavours of caramel, toffee, dried fruits and often a touch of molasses.

American Barleywines tend to be assertively hopped, adding bitterness and citrus or pine notes, while English versions are smoother, with a vinous, sherry-like character.  

Both styles offer a bold, contemplative drinking experience meant for slow sipping. The depth of flavour evolves as the beer warms, revealing new nuances with each taste.

Barleywines are a celebration of strength and sophistication –ideal for ageing or enjoying on a quiet evening.
