Page 24 BA Barleywine (Cognac)
Brasserie St. Germain / Page 24 • France
Brasserie St. Germain has taken their barleywine, which is fermented with both ale and champagne yeasts, and, after 3 weeks of cold maturation, transferred the beer into cognac barrels for 6 months. The cognac character is complementary and not overwhelming, providing a delicate aroma and notes of apple, cider, and dried fruits while allowing the malty and hoppy character of the base barleywine to remain.
