1. Barley Wine
a) English-Style Barley Wine:
Tawny copper to dark brown in color with a full body and high residual malty sweetness.
Complexity of alcohols and fruity-ester characters are often high and counter-balanced by the perception of low to medium bitterness and extraordinary alcohol content.
Hop aroma and flavor may be minimal to medium.
Diacetyl should be very low.
A caramel and vinous aroma and flavor is part of the character.
Chill haze is allowable at cold temperatures.
