Clown King
US Style Barley Wine.
A heavy hitting combination of rich malt flavours and relentless, bitter hops. Aromas of caramel and toasted marshmallow, with raisin and dried fruit, alongside a spicy undercurrent of resin. With toasty malt and sweet dark fruit flavours, and a smooth, chewy mouthfeel, you’ll be lulled into a false sense of security, before the intense pine-sap resin draws out a huge bitter finish.
