Introducing “Mabel,” a carefully crafted Englsh-style barleywine utilizing a traditional old world technique to brew this imperial beer. We started with rich, toasty English floor-malted Maris Otter malt and after mashing and gently lautering we boiled the wort for six hours. This extended boil time increases the Maillard reaction process adding additional complexity and flavors of carmelized sugar, toffee and lends a beautiful aburn hue. A subtle touch of hop bitterness from English Fuggle hops compliments the rich sweetness of the malt. Each bottle is a celebration of tradition and a nod to the past.

Orange hints in the light brown body, white cap settles into a thick ring. Musky barley with english yeast and mild caramel malt in nose. Taste is overly yeasty, malt is next, but the barley is relatively weak, balance is off with dry sweetness coating the palate on the finish. Feel is thin and heavy, somewhat dry but again more yeasty than anything.
