Brewed By:
Stone Brewing Co.
Self-Defined Style:
Barley Wine Bright and clear in appearance. The color of a great single malt, but the lower alcohol of the OG throws the light in different ways than a scotch. Light and citrusy aroma. Almost like a barley wine cured orange peel. The flavor is hoppy as all get out. Young and brash. And to my palate quite delicious! Noticeable alcohol...quite clean. Mouth feel is almost light on the palate (in a barley wine sorta way) that might not suggest the alcohol level.
Best With:
Primarily thought of as a digestif, it turns out that barley wines have an affinity to lamb, venison and wild boar. Classic cheeses such as English and Vermont cheddars as well as aged Gruyeres from Switzerland. Caramelized desserts as crème brûlée and crepes as well as a good vanilla ice cream can finish a wonderful evening of food and beer.
