Freedom Ale

Freedom Ale Wine Details
Price:

Description: Intense sweet maltyness followed by generous hoppyness and finishing with warming alcohol and aromas of bourbon, vanilla and East Kent Goldings dry-hops. Not for the timid! Brewed almost a year ago and aged in Jack Daniel's casks, this special brew is to be enjoyed like a fine port or brandy after a meal or with desert.

Varietal Definition
Barley Wine:
"Barley wine" is the evocative name coined by British brewers to describe an extremely potent ale that can range from golden copper to dark brown in color. They are characterized by extravagant caramel malt flavors and bittering hops that prevent the malt sweetness from cloying. Rich and viscous, they can have in their most complex manifestations winey flavor profiles, with a hint of sweetness. Some examples are vintage dated and can improve with extended bottle age.
