SEASONAL RETURN: Heavy Seas Below Decks

Personally speaking, this is one of my favorite offerings from Heavy Seas Brewing (Baltimore, MD).  Previously in 12 oz bottles, this barleywine joined the Mutiny Fleet (big bomber series) last year.  Hugh Sisson and I shared a 4 year old cellared edition of this at Brick Store Pub last year, and that made me a lover of this beer for life.

Commercial Description:
Our English style barleywine – rich, malty, and opulent. Great at time of release but will benefit from bottle aging for many years to come. VINTAGE DATED.

Style: Barleywine (English style, lighter on the hops)

Taste Expectations: Caramel malts, touch of dark fruits.  Slightly boozy.  Malts turn a bit sweet as it warms.  Toffee, touch of chocolate.

Availability: 22oz bombers.  Some draft.  Nov-Dec seasonal.  Vintage dated

Cellar? Yes, under the proper conditions

10% ABV

Heavy Seas Yule Tide Delayed

Beer is a business.  First and foremost beer is a science.  Brewing requires attention to detail, attention to sanitation, etc.  Sometimes even when think you have controlled every aspect of the brewing process, things just don’t come out right.  Hey, nobody is perfect.

Heavy Seas Brewing’s Yule Tide, a member of the Mutiny Fleet, and was going to be making a second appearance this winter.  As I understand it, the yeast is definitely on the naughty list this year.  Along with the lump of coal it it will find in its stocking on Christmas morning, Yule Tide has been given a time out.  I.e. it’s not allowed out until this tasty tripel behaves.   Sources tell me that you WILL see Yule Tide soon, just not as Yule Tide.  A surprise is in the works.  Hey, when life hands you lemons…

Just to stress this… there is nothing wrong with this beer… the yeast is just being lazy!!!!
