Tree HouseBeersA Winter's Respite
This Barleywine has notes of winter spice, sherry, almond, toffee and warming oak. A Winter's Respite is a barrel-aged Barleywine crafted for a much-needed rest amidst the coldest stretch of the year. Inspired by the mulled wines of the Nordic region known as Glögg, we used a blend of fruit and spices to accompany the complex notes from specially selected barrels.
Leads with caramel and oak; also nutty, spicy and vinous.
On the Classic wheel, from Tree House’s own descriptions of this beer.
A Winter's Respite is a barrel-aged Barleywine inspired by the mulled wines of the Nordic region known as Glögg. To recreate its traditional flavors, we used a blend of citrus peel and spices atop a unique set of barrels that conjured luscious notes of toffee, oak, chocolate-covered almonds, sweet grape, mellow winter spices, and cozy mulled wine. This beer, steeped in history, has traveled an extensive journey to your glass and is truly a one-of-a-kind offering from our barrel cellar. The barrels that held this beer were first filled with fresh sherry in 1997 and aged until 2017. Once emptied, the barrels were refilled with a striking vintage of sherry from 1948 before being used to grace our base English Barleywine recipe. We also added a portion of Barleywine, aged in second-use chocolate bitters barrels, to further enrich the already complex notes imparted by the sherry. We hope you get a chance to try this rare offering, share it around the fireplace, and age a second bottle for Christmases to come.
