Old Backus Barleywine | Free State Brewing Co.
ABV: 10.5%
IBU: 100
Style: Barleywine - American
Actively Produced
Description: Yes that's Backus, not Bacchus, named after our good friend Richie Backus. Barleywines are an English style ale of great strength. The huge amounts of both hops and malt that go into this beer necessitate a long conditioning period to mellow its intense flavors. A complex beer that should be savored, not slammed, Old Backus has been rated one of the world’s best barleywines on Ratebeer.com with an overall score of 100. Despite it’s relative youth Old Backus exhibits a tremendous restraint, balance, and drinkability. Hopped with Columbus and Crystal hops, the Old Backus tops out at near 10% ABV.
