Bluegrass Bearded Pats Barleywine Style Ale

Pours a dark amber color with nearly no head. aroma was fruity and sweet with a noticable amount of hops to it. Flavor was a sweet maltiness to it with a smack of bitterness in the finish. Alcohol was nicely hidden. OVerall a very good barleywine.

Aroma of brown sugar and raisins. An amber brown pour with an off white head and lace. Flavor of dried fruit and a very nice finishing bitter. Full bodied palate and good carbonation. A very solid BW that has the hints of sweet that stand out to me as a plus.

750 ml. in pint glass. No head at all, dark amber brown, little to no carbonation. Doughy, sweet, honey, and malt. Flavors are typical of barley wine, good and doughy but way too sweet. One good point, the sweetness hides the alcohol very well. Nice thick and doughy on the palate; smooth and soft with little to no carbonation. Overall: this beer is out of balance but has potential if the brewers adjusted their recipe; worth a try at only 6 and change for a 750 ml. at 10.5. I could only find it at the St. Matthews brewpub though.

Bottle via unclejedi, thanks Jim!! Pours a hazy reddish-brown color with a thick creamy tan colored head. Aroma is sweet malts, floral hops, brown sugar. FLavor is again sweet malts, floral hops, brown sugar, dark fruits, maybe some woody notes. Palate is full bodied, mild carbonation, finished sweet with a blast of bitter hops. Wow, this is really nice stuff.

Thin light orange head of fine and dense bubbles. Minimal carbonation. Lots of piney hops, rubber, sweet caramel malts and some wood. Color is a hazy ruby brown. Interesting flavor. Loaded with hops. Lots of medicinal qualities along with some licorice, caramel, pine sap and some smoke notes. Pretty powerful stuff. Finishes hot and sweet and resinous. Lost of nasal alcohols and hops presence. This is actually better than I expected but still not a great barleywine though. Seems very unrefined. Thanks to etowneraser for this one.
