Barleywine – 12% ABV

A Barleywine is much what it sounds like: a barley based fermented beverage brewed to a very wine-like strength. Barleywines are typically light amber to deep red in color and boast a heavy malt base, ordinarily mashed at relatively high temperatures to create a less fermentable wort than say, an IPA has. This leaves behind longer starch chains that brewer’s yeast cannot break down and is done to create extra body in the beer. If a beer is described as “sticky”, this usually refers to the sugars and starches not broken down by fermentation.
