Big Horn Barley Wine

(Westminster, CO, C.B. & Potts) Old Bacchus Barleywine: Huge, sugary nose. Rich, candy-like flavor. Reminded me of that conical, multi-colored (striped) sucker that I can’t remember the name of. Red ale undertones. Very rich and very sugary. I couldn’t taste the alcohol much at the top, but it was VERY evident toward the last sip. Hops show little presence.

Dark colored, but with a reddish hue. This beer gives off and candy malt aroma and and a similar flavor. A fairly well balanced barley wine with a relatively moderate alcohol content for the style it seems.
