jazz88 (2205), San Francisco, California, USA Nov 14, 2006 Tap @ Toronado 2005 barley wine festival. Rudy color with a laced tan head. Brown sugar, molasses, bitter but balanced hops. Ernest (4229), Boulder, Colorado, USA Mar 2, 2005 Draught, Toronado. Body is dark amber. Aroma is lightly malty (caramel, cookie), lightly hoppy (resin), with a note of wood. Flavor is heavily sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, moderately bitter. Medium to full body, syrupy texture, soft carbonation, moderately alcoholic. Almost devoid of aroma, but with an ok flavor balance, this was a snoozer.
