Central Waters Bourbon Barrel Barley-wine Ale

Here's one that I had for the first time in June of 2007. This bottle I enjoyed today is the first one that I have been able to purchase locally. Let's look at those old notes now...



bright crimson coloring, highly clouded, stable off-whitish head above...

Aroma is ripe with fruit...plump and luscious, orange, lemon, grapefruit, mango...ripe and pungent, very lively, very hoppy...nice, nice...

Fresh blast of deliciousness onto the palate at first...fruity and full of flavor...all types of them, a zesty cornucopia, replete with refreshing bitterness...Lordy, I like it! Well done!

Long lasting in the mouth, never quitting...very satisfying flavor...like an orange wedge doused in cognac! So good! An excellent nightcap, which this is tonight...lovely, lovely...

and, it still is! Glad to finally get it locally.
