CHAPTER 2

BARREL-AGED BARLEY WINE

So closes our second chapter…

 For Chapter 2 we have lovingly barrel-aged our Now & Then Barley Wine in Pedro Ximenez sherry casks. This 11.9% beer is wildly complex, with all sorts of malt goodness going on. It has big notes of raisin, dried fruit and caramel with underlying notes of coconut, vanilla and oak. It is full-bodied and luscious and chewy and is tasting incredible right now, but like our Chapter 1 beers it will continue to age gracefully for years to come.

STYLE: Sherry Barrel-Aged Wee Heavy

NOW & THEN

BARLEY WINE

Now and then, you want a beer that shines the light on complex and intense malt flavours. Now and then, you want a wintertime sipper that has a rich, chewy body and a gentle alcohol warmth that’ll see you through to spring. You may not want to drink barley wine every day but now and then – when the mercury dips, the dark night feels close and a slow-cooked meal is simmering on the stove - it’s just the ticket. Get it now, even if you won’t drink it until then. This beer will age beautifully and develop a more rounded body and port-like notes of dried fruit
