Aged a minimum of eight months, this English style Barley Wine displays a reddish, brown hue and exhibits prominent notes of ripe pit fruit, brown sugar, toffee, and a full-bodied, malty mouthfeel. Brewed with English Marris Otter, Munich, Aromatic, and two Caramel malts, including a touch of crystal Rye, the "Wheel Chair" is an ale to be contemplated, sipped, and savored. It will continue to evolve, gaining in complexity and nuance as it ages. Serve slightly below room temperature to fully appreciate this full-flavored, strong, and pleasantly warming vintage ale.
