Sasquatch Barleywine All-Grain Beer Kit
As big as the cryptid creature itself, Sasquatch Barleywine really packs a wallop. An ABV over 9% and IBUs nearing 100, this recipe produces an intense sipping experience. Loads of fermentables and a healthy dose of caramel malt create a wonderfully full body and huge depth of malt nuances, while hearty quantities of classic American hops create sensations of firm bitterness with waves of grapefruit citrus, floral earthiness and pine flavors. Be sure to let this one lurk in the cellar, the flavors will meld with time.
