Bryghuset Braunstein

Barleywine·Denmark·10% ABV·One of 102 Barleywines in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Dragonfly Back on Track's caramel and sweet character. A vinous scent of sweet caramel; caramel, dried fruit and oak notes meet high strength and bitterness for a very balanced taste. This organic barley wine is mahogany brown under a fine light-brown head, so strong that it almost glides into the world of wine, yet with the fine hop bitterness and pleasant malty sweetness of a beer. Hopped with Challenger, Goldings and Bramling Cross, in the English tradition of the Napoleonic era.
