Barley Wine
Vintage sipping ale · Burton upon Trent, England
Barley wine is a very strong ale — named for its wine-like strength rather than any grape content — running from about 8 percent alcohol to 12 percent and beyond, built on a huge malt bill for a rich, sweet, chewy body of caramel, toffee, toast and dark fruit, and made to be sipped and cellared like a fine wine.

High alcohol and residual sugar keep the head low and quick to fall, leaving a fine tan collar rather than a lasting crown.
