The Brewers Association Definition
The Brewers Association, developed the following for the American
Barley Wine category at the Great American Beer Festival:
Very rich and intense maltiness. Hop character moderate to assertive
and often showcases citrusy or resiny American varieties (although
other varieties, such as floral, earthy or spicy English varieties or a
blend of varieties, may be used). Low to moderately strong fruity
esters and alcohol aromatics. Malt character may be sweet,
caramelly, bready, or fairly neutral. However, the intensity of
aromatics often subsides with age. No diacetyl.
Color may range from light amber to medium copper; may rarely be
as dark as light brown. High alcohol and viscosity may be visible in
“legs” when beer is swirled in a glass.
Strong, intense malt flavor with noticeable bitterness. Carbonation
may be low to moderate, depending on age and conditioning.
A well-hopped American interpretation of the richest and strongest of
the English ales. The hop character should be evident throughout,
but does not have to be unbalanced. The alcohol strength and hop
bitterness often combine to leave a very long finish.
.

Original Gravity = 1.080 - 1.120 ( 19 - 28 ºPlato)
