US HOPPED BLACK BARLEY WINE
So it's back to the future with this #Mashtag. Back in 2015 the pick of the polls was this 10% Black Barley Wine, brewed with five different American hops, vanilla and toasted oak chips. Delivering a rich and resonant beer, with layers of complexity. The deep roasty chocolate base from the malt is intertwined with vanilla, before giving way to resinous pine and a slightly herbal edge from the high-alpha hops. The finish is long, warming and heavy with the weight of beery egalitarianism.
#Mashtag - democracy in liquid form.

Style
Barley Wine
Beer styles are the categorisation of beer into easily distinguishable types. When doing this we look at history, colour, carbonation, bitterness, ingredients, mouthfeel… the list goes on
Malts
Cara, Carafa, Munich, Pale, Extra Dark Crystal
We'd typically use a lightly kilned Base Malt in a beer recipe, then add Speciality malts (sometimes darker, more complex, different flavours) in small quantities to change the overall taste and colour of the beer.
Hops
Cascade, Centennial, Hallertauer Taurus, Simcoe
Hops are used in loads of ways, and they can give different characteristics to beer such as Aroma and Bitterness– this is why they rock!
INGREDIENTS
water, malted barley, hops, yeast, vanilla.
