Rhodesian is Frontaal's flagship barleywine, from the independent Breda brewery founded in 2015. This beer balances strength with restraint: a full body with warming alcohol that never overwhelms. The hop bitterness is present yet measured, with Warrior, Cascade, Centennial and Chinook hops layering complex aromas. Built on Maris Otter pale malt, amber and caramunich malts, fermented with WLP001 yeast.

The nose reveals smoke, licorice and the distinctive funk of mature barleywine. On the palate, sweet caramel and hop bitterness intertwine, finishing dry and lingering. A beer that rewards contemplation at 10°C.
