La Sagra Bohío

Tap to rate

Bohío is La Sagra's barley wine, a top-fermented ale of 10.4 percent brewed entirely from barley malt, given an extended maturation and conditioned in the bottle. It pours a deep, intense amber. The nose brings chocolate and caramel with roasted coffee and a note of baked apple. The body is dense and the palate sweet and fruity, with toffee, dark sugar and ripe orchard fruit held in balance by warming alcohol. The finish is long and rounded, with a faint roast note.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent chocolate and caramel notes, layered with roasted coffee and a subtle baked apple character. These malt-forward aromatics are supported by the warming presence of elevated alcohol, which adds depth without harshness. The bouquet evolves slowly, revealing additional toasted grain complexity.

◐ Taste

Entry is sweet and full-bodied, with toffee and dark sugar forming the core palate. Ripe orchard fruit—apple and stone fruit—provides bright counterpoint to the malt sweetness. The 50 IBU bitterness integrates smoothly, preventing cloying fatigue and maintaining balance through the mid-palate into the swallow.
