Wicklow Wolf's Locavore Autumn 2024 Barrel Aged Irish Barleywine epitomises the brewery’s dedication to creating exceptional craft beer using local ingredients and Irish-grown barley. Brewed in the heart of Wicklow, this barleywine pays tribute to the landscape and terroir of the region, using locally sourced Irish barley and ageing the beer for 12 months in ex-Oloroso and ex-Pedro Ximénez barrels. Aged further in Fercullen’s 21-year-old Single Malt Whiskey barrels, this beer presents a depth of flavour that is truly unique and rich in heritage.

The Locavore Project champions small-batch, experimental brews, and the Autumn 2024 release is no exception. Pouring a deep, rich mahogany colour, this barleywine immediately captivates with a bouquet of caramel, toffee, and dried fruits. On the palate, it offers indulgent flavours of marmalade, red wine, and spiced fruits, reminiscent of Christmas cake. The beer’s mouthfeel is smooth and velvety, with a tannic bite from the barrel ageing, making each sip a warming and satisfying experience. The long, luxurious finish hints at the whiskey influence, with a dessert wine-like character that makes this beer incredibly moreish.

Tasting Notes:

  • Appearance: Locavore Autumn 2024 pours a deep, rich mahogany hue with a slight amber glow, topped with a frothy off-white head that lingers.

  • Aroma: The nose is rich and complex, offering deep aromas of caramel, toffee, and spiced dried fruits, all accompanied by a subtle hint of oak and whiskey from the barrel ageing.

  • Flavour: On the palate, you can expect a robust blend of flavours, including rich caramel, toffee, red wine-soaked fruits, and Christmas cake spices. There’s a delicate interplay between sweetness and bitterness, creating a balanced yet bold flavour profile.

  • Mouthfeel: Smooth and velvety, with a full-bodied texture. The tannic influence from the barrels adds structure, while the whiskey imparts warmth and a slight alcohol heat, resulting in a long, satisfying finish.

Wicklow Wolf Brewery was established in 2014, proudly embracing its ethos of "Independent by Nature". Nestled in the Wicklow Mountains, the brewery is deeply committed to sustainability, with its own hop farm and a dedication to brewing beer that reflects the local terroir. Over the years, Wicklow Wolf has garnered multiple awards, including several accolades for its barrel-aged and special release beers, further cementing its reputation as one of Ireland's top craft breweries.

Food Pairings:
Given the robust flavour profile of Locavore Autumn 2024, it pairs beautifully with equally hearty dishes. Consider pairing it with rich stews, game meats, or slow-cooked lamb shanks. The sweet, fruit-forward character also complements strong cheeses like Stilton or Roquefort. For dessert pairings, enjoy it alongside a rich chocolate torte or a spiced fruitcake to amplify the beer’s decadent flavours.
