Our sumptuous Barley Wine ‘Strongman’ has been re-designed since its first outing 2011. We’ve increased the complexity of the malt bill to include wheat malt, crystal rye, light crystal and aromatic malt in addition to our house Golden Promise.
This additional malt has added a depth of satisfying malty character and layers of toffee and dried fruit. The beer has been carefully aged in freshly emptied Bourbon or Rye Whiskey casks until its ready to take the stage. The finished beer is golden brown in colour with a rich pungent aroma and full palate, which gives way to rich fruit and brisk nutty flavours. The Bourbon version has additional rounded vanilla sweetness while the Rye has a peppery spice to its finish
Best drunk slightly cold, the flavours developing as the beer warms.

Served in a goblet from the glass.
Appearance: bronze colored brew. Off white head with subtle bubbling coming up half a finger's length.
Smell: light yeast scent.
Taste: Sweet mellow honey and barley with a hard sour note.
Mouth: sticky and hard finish which is a touch sour.
Overall: Good good brew. Hyrbid which feels a touch American. Salud.

Tiger fur orange, not much head.
Incredible aroma of toffee apple, butterscotch candies, apple pie, apricots, almonds, Cointreau, and muesli.
Tastes of hoppy caramel, with bitter orange, bison grass vodka, fudge, roasted nuts, cream soda, honey, and a mysterious herbaceous quality not unlike root beer.
Lush, spirit-like mouthfeel with soft carbonation and not too much viscosity.
Intense and remarkable.
