GUELPH, ON – Wellington Brewery has announced details of two barley wines that are being released as part of the brewery’s annual DecemBEER promotion.
Yuletide Barleywine (9.8% abv, 85 IBU) and Yuletide Barrel-Aged Barleywine (11.9% abv, 85 IBU) are described as follows:
This English-style Barleywine has a toasted biscuit malt body with dried fruit notes, an assertive floral hop bitterness, and a slightly boozy finish. As this beer ages, the hop notes will fade, and the complex malt character will develop rich notes of toffee, nut, and raisins. This year we have also aged some of our 2017 vintage in Kentucky Bourbon Barrels which contribute rich oak flavours alongside subtle notes of vanilla, coconut, and smoke. These traditional winter warmers are the perfect holiday beers grab one of each with this unique holiday pack. Enjoy fresh or cellar for future enjoyment.
Both beers will be available tomorrow (December 15th) in 750 ml bottles at the Wellington retail store, selling at $9.95 for the original version and $12.95 for the barrel-aged. A gift pack of both will also be available for $22.90, and can be pre-ordered online now.
