Commercial Description:
This Barley Wine tops the charts! Big, complex and thick, this beer is a meal in a glass. It warms on the way down and for quite a while afterwards. This beer undergoes three yeast fermentations and spending over 120 days in the fermenter. When you are in an adventurous mood, try this international classic. O.G. 1.105, ABV 11.25%

Mmm very good. Pours a nice dark amber with a small head. Aroma was malt. Flavor was malt at first but it was balanced with some sweetness from fruits. Good barely wine but it could stand to be a little stronger.

Tap: dark amber with no head. Aroma was light malted caramel. Malt taste up front with some fruit in the middle and a bittersweet finish. Just o.k. for a barley wine.

On tap: Caramel, citrus, and banana bread in the nose. Dark transparent amber with a white head. Light malt and caramel up front. Light banana bread comes in the finish. Nice citrus hops in the finish. A little light but decently balanced.
