Brewed By:
Great Divide
Self-Defined Style:
Barley Wine Old Ruffian is a hefty, hop-forward Barley Wine. Seemingly mellow at first sniff, with its subtle fruit aromas and complex caramel sweetness, this deep mahogany-hued ale quickly shows its true character marked by bold hop flavors and massive hop bitterness. Old Ruffian's rich, slightly creamy, caramel malt mouth feel balances its grapefruit, pine, and floral hop flavors, working wonders on your palate.
Best With:
We savor Old Ruffian Barley Wine with Stilton, a creamy, rich, British blue cheese, served with walnuts and dried figs or dried tart cherries.
