#barleywine

Murph has chosen to flirt as a PC like twice in his entire life and one of them was as Mac with Jenn with two n's. The other was as Theo with Gooey and I'll never be normal about either of these dynamics for as long as I live.

A windy October coincided with the installation of ventilation in the brewery. I also cracked open a two year old barleywine of mine to see how it had matured. Very nicely indeed! All the latest updates are in the blog.

I'm working hard to bring Orkney's next brewery to the world. My beers will be rich, dark and indulgent. There's a lot of work to do, but here's a taster.

Epic Barley Wine Ale (Picked up at an Utah State Liquor Store in Salt Lake City). A 3 of 4. Yep, this is a class English barleywine. Lots of toffee and dark fruit and bready notes with some alcohol that fades in towards the finish. The nose is mostly malty but there is a touch of citrus and resin, and this finishes on the sweet side, as you'd expect.
