Barleywine / Strong Ale 190
Barleywine / Strong Ale190 labels
Barleywine, wheatwine, old ale, American strong ale: the cellar shelf, usually 10% and up, often barrel-aged and vintage-dated. Few labels, high intent — nobody puts an 11% barleywine through label approval casually. Approval runs months ahead of release, and the label often carries a year, a barrel and a blend note worth recording.
