Strength (ABV): 
9.2% ABV

Although described by the brewery as an "American Strong Ale", it is the subtlety of Batch One that stands out. Characterized by its generous body and strong hop aromas, the beer's robust malt profile is masterfully combined with delicate, American aroma hops. The result is a well-balanced beer, rather than the over-hopped and sickeningly sweet beers that often represent this category.

"My goodness", muttered Claus, recalling his visit to the Institute, "the restrictive outerwear, the padded room-even padded Christmas tree ornaments. Horrifying! Yet the little chap seems happier than he’s ever been" Claus took a thoughtful sip of a most warming red ale. "Perhaps sanity is over-rated...Ho,Ho,Ho!"

Self-Defined Style: 
Barleywine
Strength (ABV): 
11.5% ABV

J.W. Lees Vintage Harvest Ale is only brewed once a year for release on December 1 of each year. It is a Limited Edition Vintage to celebrate the first brew from each year's harvest of barley and hops. Pale in color it has a warm, estery aroma, a good deal of malty flavors on the palate, and a lot of hoppy dryness in the finish.

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.
