Lagunitas The Hairy Eyeball. Perihelial Release. (Whatever that means.) IBU 56.66. OG 1.090. Alc. 9.1% by Vol. The Lagunitas Brewing Company, Petaluma, California.
I'm looking at notes from March, 2005, while I drink, checking to see if it stands up:
Appearance: Clear, crimson coloring, with a healthy tan head on top.
Aroma: rich and sweet, port-like, dark fruits, yeast, and spice. Heady.
Tastes: Huge flavor, dark fruits aplenty, cherries and grapes, berries and melons, lush and delightful....rich and tasty....zing, zing, zing, zoom, zoom, zoom...very tasty...9%? 'zat'all? Full bodied, long, rich, fruity finish.
A really nice barley-wine. Creamy, richly rewarding, just like a barley-wine ought to be...big thumbs up from me. (3/21/05)
On on 12/12/14, I say, yeah, that about says it, and it's still delicious.
