3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 alexsdad06 (7277) - Ohio, USA - OCT 4, 2014
Draft at Fifty Fifty. Pours a clear dark amber/copper color with a small off white head. The aroma and flavor have sweet caramel malts, dark fruits, raisins, some citrus, more hop character than I like in my barley wines, some alcohol comes through, I think this one shows all of the 9 % and then some. Decent, but I tend more toward the English barley wines.

Aroma is light, malty fruitiness. Hard to pick up much aroma. Strong hop presence.
Pours a cloudy amber color with small yellowish head
Prune like flavor with strong hop character, grapefruit, pine. Well balanced
Full bodied, low CO2, lingering hop bitterness
Wish aroma offered a bit more. Really like how well balanced this is for a barleywine. Alcohol present but not overbearing.

"a cloudy burnt orange amber. medium to full bodied with slightly higher than average carbonation. aroma has a little alcohol, very herbal and spicy. flavor starts off malt heavy but the spicy hops come out quite a bit as it warms. Not one of the best BWs out there, but not too bad either."
