Italian Barley Wine

Beschrijving

Can a single beer be said to constitute a style? If so, then Xiauyù and its variants, from Baladin brewery, is such a style. Its production involves three cycles of fermentation leading to it ending virtually free of carbonation. Its character is much like that of a fortified wine, such as Marsala or a Colheita port, except made solely from malted grain. Despite its strength (15.0-18.0% ABV), it remains in technical terms a beer.
