Beer Style: Strong Ale Family
Winter’s Barleywine
This is kind of a hybrid English/American barleywine.
Gordon Strong’s Belgian Tripel
For the right Belgian character, take care to let it ferment to completion, then cool condition it for several weeks.
Bell’s Brewery’s Song Of The Open Road clone
Song of the Open Road will pour a nice shade of brown with garnet notes. The hearty ale is best served in a snifter glass and will pair well with rich desserts, a fine cigar or, of course, the literary works of Walt Whitman.

Big Island Brewhaus’ Golden Sabbath clone
Stylistically, Golden Sabbath can be considered a slightly fuller-bodied Belgian golden strong ale. The use of local Hawaiian honey in place of traditional Belgian candi sugar provides body, a silky texture, and an inviting aroma.
Pedal Haus Brewery’s Barrel-Aged Quad Clone
It’s a beer big in all regards: Aroma, flavor, mouthfeel, and alcohol. The beer has a full body, with enough carbonation (2.8 v/v) to give it a “lighter than it really is” feel to it. Though the alcohol is strong at 10.6% ABV, it is just one of many components to this complex beer that blend into the whole instead of standing out by itself.
Jamil’s American Barleywine
The balance of bittering versus malt sweetness should always be toward the bitter, but expect the beer to become more and more balanced as the beer ages and the bittering drops out.
Old Cthulhiar (a.k.a. Very Old And Very Peculiar)
