Commercial Description:
The name wine comes from the fact that this is as strong as wine! Made with loads of English Barley, Roasted Barley, and a fair amount of hops... Strong!

Tried this one out on tap while up judging the Drunk Monk Challenge but didn’t have time for good notes. All I wrote down was "very hoppy for a barleywine."

This poured dark enough to have me initially wondering if the bartender had brought me the wrong beer. Served in a snifter, it’s a very dark brown and is capped with a sustained, creamy tan head. Nice lacing. The aroma is malty, sweet with juicy fruits, has a touch of toffee, and a whiff of alcohol. Smooth. The flavor is a pleasant blending of the elements from the aroma, although the toffee seems to fade, being replaced by a mild earthy bitterness that intensifies somewhat towards the finish. Good stuff.
