hopIQ found 10 beers that share Brand English Barley Wine's malty and full-bodied character. Full-malt and lightly fruity, this 10% English Barley Wine was brewed for the winter days with barley and wheat malts, English hops and authentic yeast. It can happily be laid down to deepen with age, yet drinks well straight away. It is the first of a planned yearly series of keeping beers from Wijlre.
