Barleywine Ale is a traditionally brewed beer but has the alcohol content more akin to that of wine. Along with the higher alcohols come many fruity flavors common in wine. These fruity alcohols and yeast esters are balanced by a fresh bouquet of flowery, citrusy hops. Brewed in celebration of 15 years, XV was brewed with 15 different malts and 15 different hops, and hopped every 15 minutes over a two hour boil. The result is a complex ale packed with flavor and alcohol. Great with rich desserts or alone as a digestif.
Served in an 8oz Brandy snifter glass only. Cheers to Fifteen Years.
