Bacchus Torrone Swiss Choco Barleywine 14% 375mL — Decadent Chocolate Delight

🍫 Rich, boozy and unapologetically dessert-driven, Torrone Swiss Choco Barleywine pushes Bacchus Brewing Co deep into indulgent territory.

Brewed in Capalaba, Queensland, this high-ABV barleywine takes inspiration from Swiss-style chocolate nougat bars, layering milk chocolate, honey and almond character into a dense, full-bodied base built for slow sipping. It sits closer to liquid dessert than traditional beer, with richness and sweetness driving the experience from the first pour.

The texture is velvety and warming, carrying creamy chocolate, toasted nuts and soft honeyed sweetness across the palate without becoming cloying. The higher ABV adds structure and warmth, giving the beer a luxurious finish that lingers long after each sip.

At 14% ABV, this is firmly a sipping beer — ideal for dessert pours, sharing sessions or drinkers chasing bold pastry-style releases.
