Beer #61 Central City Thor's Hammer

Central City Brewing Thor's Hammer Barley Wine

Central City Brewing is a brew pub and also the brewer of Red Racer beers located in Surrey, BC.   Central City has a good reputation and has been open for about 10 years.  They have a good selection of taps, all the regular Red Racer brews and some seasonals and special brews.  This is one of their special brews and is only served in 10 oz glasses as it is 11%, it is only available at the pub as far as I can tell.

It has a cloudy red brown colour with a thin white head with good lacing.

It has a very floral aroma with malty and yeasty undertones.

It starts with the yeastiness and floral notes of the hops which change to the hoppy bitterness as the malt comes in. The maltiness fades away leaving a little yeastiness and bitterness lingering on the finish.

This is a really nice brew, it drinks way smoother than anything with 11% should, it really does sneak up on you.  The flavour profile is really nice, it is the perfect brew for sipping after a nice meal.
