Naparbier Forever & Again

This English Barley Wine presents a decadent sensory landscape shaped by extended maturation in Otazu red wine barrels. The complex grain bill featuring Pilsner, Carafa, and Caramunich malts creates a deep foundation of rich toffee, toasted bread, and burnt caramel. Columbus hops provide a grounded earthy and spicy backbone that balances the intense malt sweetness. The red wine influence is prominent, weaving vinous notes of dark grapes and subtle oak tannins through layers of dried figs and raisins. At 11.7% ABV, it offers a plush, warming experience with a velvet-like texture and a sophisticated, lingering finish of aged dark fruit and soft oxidation.
