Commercial Description:
Big malty flavors, including licorice and chocolate, are balanced with a moderate hop profile. Brewed with copious amounts of prized malts and flaked oats, the Barley Wine is so strong that it has to be aged for several months before we can bottle it. Like a fine wine, it will continue to improve with age up to 2 years after bottling (If kept cool).

12 oz. bottle. Pours deep mahagony / amber color with slightly tan head that is small and vanishes quickly. Very aromatic, with hints of licorice, alcohol, cherry. Tastes indeed like licorice with slight hints of chocolate, still tasting cherries, alcohol detectable. Syrupy. Overall not my favorite barleywine but very good nonetheless.

Cuivrée-rougeâtre avec un pétillement faible et une mousse éphémère. Arômes de malt et de petits fruits rouge. En bouche elle est douce et ronde et très maltée. Laisse un faible arrière gout de malt et d’alcool. Plutôt bien balancée et facile à boire pour une barley wine.

355 ml bottle. Finland. Dark amber colour with medium-size tan head. Sweet caramel, hops, roasted malts and some alcohol in aroma. Warming alcohol in flavour. Soft sweet hoppy flavour with some bitterness. Not much of an aftertaste. Smooth.

7 oz bottle. Pours a deep amber. Nose is sweet malts, pine and citrus hops, cocoa and oatmeal. Flavor is a smooth blend of mild hops, sweet malts, booze and toasted grains.

Enjoyed via a 12oz bottle in a pub glass. The beer pours a dark brown with an off-white head. The nose brings English crystal malts, potentially 80 and 120, along with perhaps a touch of Maris Otter base notes. Hops come into to balance the palate, but my sample seemed to be well-aged, and showed a definite tendency toward maltyness. The palate is nicely full and inviting, without being cloying. The finish was a touch sweet, as expected, but carried no notes of alcohol. A nicely done barley wine.

Don’t get me wrong this is a really good beer. It left me satisfied and reeling. But really I am not the biggest fan of this style. Like other barleywine the sweet malt body was overpowering, the high abv was not complimentary, and while good to get lit I wouldn’t seek the style out. I’d rather have a ridiculously strong IPA or stout.
