Enigma by The Twisted Hop is a captivating barley wine that invites you on a sensory journey. Adorned in a deep copper hue, this brew boasts a soft floral aroma with hints of cherries, enticing the senses. Its sweet maltiness is artfully balanced by the flavors of stone fruits and a robust hop bitterness, creating a harmonious interplay on the palate. The maturation in American oak lends subtle notes of vanilla and a tantalizing tannic dryness, adding depth and complexity to the experience. As the beer develops, flavors of dried fruits emerge, culminating in a long, dry, and bitter finish that pairs exceptionally well with strong blue cheese. This Enigma is a true delight for the discerning beer enthusiast.
