Carobou boasts a powerful, wonderful aroma of dried, dark (bordering on tropical) fruits, as well as a decadent body and rich flavour, marked by an sweetly earthy, spicy character. The Carob's chocolaty notes are more woodsy than what you might expect, more like chocolate covered truffles than milk chocolate. The Carob character is complementary with the base Barleywine style, enhancing and rounding out the luscious maltiness and boozy, brandy-like complexity you would expect in a big English Barleywine. It's a rather different- but very special brew. We hope you like it as much as we do around our home. Happy Holidays!
