Richly colored, largely opaque, burgundy hued, under a slim, off-white, cream-toned head.
In the nose: Dark fruit, stone fruit, burnished fruit. Deep, rich, fruity, wine-like, and very malty. Alcohol threatens, at first.
In the mouth: Richness, dark fruit, leather, molasses, caramel, toffee, deepness....intensity. Full body, full flavor. I like it. (If I don't exactly love it.) Good barleywine and you can drink it. And there ain't nothing wrong with that.
This American barleywine has the aroma of raisins and nugget hops with flavors of deep caramel malt and toffee. The finish is slightly sweet with a crisp bitternesss.
