Commercial Description:
Bottled November 2004, Batch 5. With its assertive hop bitterness, delicious malt flavor and long, dry, hoppy finish, Leviathan Barleywine is a brew of mythic proportions. Dark amber, rich, and malty with a most very hearty alcohol strength, it is capable of soothing the savage beast in us all. Leviathan rises out of Pale, Carastan, and Chocolate malts with monstrous additions of Chinook hops for bitterness and Cascade hops for flavor and aroma. This vintage ale finishes quite dry after a long maturation period. As it comes of age in the keg, subtle flavors of sherry, pear, and roasted nuts will develop.

Slightloy hazy amber with a lasting white head. Aroma has malty caramel and citrus hops. Sweet bready malt flavour with citrus hops matching the sweetness. Very drinkable for the strength

12oz relatively fresh from Holiday Wine Cellar. Pours copper orange with a tan ring. Nose is sweet and fruity and nice. Taste is a sweet and big, but it feels a bit restricted flavorwise, I’m curious how it will get as it warms up. Warmer its still one sided

Bottle from November 2005. Pours with a large, creamy off-white heead covering a hazy orange body. Good lacing. Aroma has lots of malts, caramel, floral hops, and some grains. Taste is caramel malty with some burnt malts as well. A bit of sherry towards the finish and a slight alcohol burn. Not a very full mouthfeel, actually a bit thin for a barely wine. light bubbles. Not horrible, actual a solid beer, would be nice if it were cheaper, more common and came in six packs (ala SN Bigfoot).

Pour is amber brown with a creamy head. Aroma is very malty with strong toffee notes. Flavor is slightly burnt but mainly full of toffee and malt. I got a little bit o cocoa and slight dark fruits which finished with some medium bitterness. Pretty good beer. Alcohol is hidden well. Well blended brew. Could actually use a little more alcoholic kick. Good purchase.
