King's Ransom English Barley Wine | Extract | PBS Kit

King’s Ransom is a bold, indulgent English Barleywine extract kit designed to deliver classic malt richness with approachability for extract brewers. Built on a rich Golden Light DME base and layered with dark crystal malts, this beer pours deep amber with ruby highlights and showcases flavors of toffee, caramel, dried fruit, and subtle molasses. A firm backbone of bitterness from Warrior hops balances the sweetness, while traditional East Kent Goldings add a gentle earthy finish that stays true to English brewing tradition.

Despite its commanding 10%+ ABV, King’s Ransom remains smooth and refined, with warming alcohol that integrates beautifully over time. The extended boil concentrates flavor and depth, creating a luxurious mouthfeel that makes this beer ideal for aging. Enjoy it fresh for bold malt intensity or cellar it for months to let the flavors meld and soften. Whether you’re brewing your first big beer or adding a showpiece to your cellar, King’s Ransom is a regal reward worthy of patience and respect.
