Flavor Description
Step into the world of full-bodied English tradition with the Steampunk Sipper Barleywine Beer Kit – Extract. This high-gravity barleywine brings you rich, layered malt character from a hearty blend of Pale DME, Caramel 80, and Special B malts. As you sip, you'll discover a warming complexity: deep toffee richness balanced by notes of dark dried fruits—think raisins, dates, and a touch of molasses. Fuggles and East Kent Goldings hops lend a reserved bitterness that keeps the sweetness in check, letting the malt profile shine without overwhelming your palate. With an ABV near 9.8%, this isn’t a beer you rush—it's a slow-sipping companion for cool evenings, quiet reflections, and hearty conversations. If you're after an English-style barleywine beer kit that captures the essence of tradition with a playful twist, this one’s for you.
