Stigbergets Bryggeri - Xmas Barley Wine

What does it even mean ? What more satisfying and festive a choice for the holidays than a classic English Barleywine? Its gentle warmth, a perfect match for cold nights. The instinct to sip and savor, a perfect match for evenings with friends. Its boldness and robust complexity, a perfect match for rich holiday foods. What you need to know though Golden Promise, Extra Pale Ale and a touch of chocolate and red rye crystal malts underwent an extra long boil to develop a rich and complex malt character, and Aurora hops provide just enough bitterness to balance that deep maltiness. Deep copper in color, well rounded and velvety smooth, layers of caramelized sweetness and hints of dark fruits, with a present and balancing bitterness. Aromas of toffee, raisins, figs, plums and port wine, finished with a gentle boozy warmth.
