MY F-I-L gave me a bottle of some wine made at a nearby Hutterite Colony last Christmas.
Wow! That stuff packed a punch.
Two glasses and I was:

I hate to say it, but I don't think I like bourbon. I've never had it straight or in a drink, but those balls... ick, ewww, and gross.

I tried Barley Wine at a local brewery once.... just one glass.... in the evening... I got the jitters and couldn't go to sleep. My hands were shaking so bad I couldn't stop them... I'll never have it again.  I hope that doesn't happen to you unless you like that then, all the power to you.

I've got strawberry wine all bottled and labelled. I'm thinking the blackberry might be bottled on Christmas eve. and there's a gallon of red, and a gallon of apple/cherry that just might be ready for consumption too.

Ah ... barleywine the sweet elixir worthy of a beer god. Lively and fruity, sometimes sweet sometimes bittersweet but always alcoholic. A brew of this strength (most around 8-13% abv) and complexity can be a challenge to the palate, young ones can be rough to the taste buds with the 3 to 4 times the amount of hops to flavour and bitter the brew other can been sweet to the tongue. Just imagine Boston at around 32°F with freezing rain that chills you to the bone nearing the point of torture, what do we turn to ... barley wine. Looking for a pairing with some Belgian chocolate or aged cheddar from Vermont ... barley wine it is. These are beers that can be aged, most have vintage dates and possibly could be cellared for many year and even decades. But to hell with holding on to them we’re getting desperate for a soul warming brew. Here is a little history on the style. |
