La Dona Prince Namor Barleywine

 La Dona Prince Namor Barleywine. 


9.5 % ABV. La Dona Cerveceria, Minneapolis, MN. 

The Sub-Mariner has his own beer? Ruler of the realm eternal? Monarch of Atlantis? Oh, wait, it’s not that anymore in the MCU, and you know what, I never saw that movie, it’s cool, it’s cool. 

So, let’s drink a Barleywine. 

Clear, deep reddish hue, slim white head.

In the nose: hoppy, but mixed with malt. Caramelly. Lovely stuff, so far. 

In the mouth: full, rich, complex. A kaleidoscope on the tongue. Malty flavors with a boozy kick, and just the right dose of hops. Full body, long malty finish, some fruity flavors pop up, dark and delicious, wrapped up in boozy malt ones. Very enjoyable. 

I’m relaxing and luxuriating, floating aloft, as if my ankles had wings.
