Grand Lake Super Chicken Barley Wine

Brewed by Grand Lake Brewing Co
Style: Barley Wine
Grand Lake, Colorado USA

12 oz bottle shared by beastiefan2k. Pour is murky brown, lighter chocolate brown with only a few soapy tannish bubbles for a head. Aroma is really big resiney pine hops some caramel malt behind that. Taste is brown sugar, bright pine hoppy, really not much melding together. Ok flavor with the hops, but not really any balancing. Palate is medium, maybe on the thin side for a Barley Wine. Some residual alcohol heat. Thanks for sharing Eugene.

Bottle from rsquared618. Pours slightly hazy amber with light whitish head. Smell is perfumy and sweet and alcoholic with a light hop scent. Taste is dull cardboard malt and very light hops, but a lingering alcoholic flavor and some bitterness. Tastes a bit lifeless and boring, but not too offensive aside from the slightly alcoholic flavor. Below average barley wine. Medium to watery body and lifeless mouthfeel with soft carbonation.

cool label .. pours with some foam, soap like but constant .. . nice stuff, very mellow, abv is done right .. . burnt toffee, chocolate cherry skin, and other dark flavours .. . would age gracefully .. . Brooke shields is gorgeous .. brew would go well with baby back ribs, ..bbq sauce!

12 ounce bottle from Crossling. Pours a dark candy apple red with a bit of sticky beige head. The nose leaves a bit to be desired. Alcohol vapors, a bit of toasted malts, chewy toffee, and some caramelized fruit, but all very underwhelming. The flavor is pretty well balanced and, well, mellow. Sweet and chewy malts of the bat the transition into a piny bitter hop finish. Its tasty, but not awe inspiring. Medium body with medium/light carbonation. The palate is easy to drink, but still substantial. Super Chicken is an alright beer. I wouldn’t seek it out, but I’d certainly drink it again.

Crushed with Jakebra. Well, it’s no Uintas XV. Nose is very nice. Fruits, hops, sweet malts. Leads into a mess of a flavor. Nothing distinct but sweet poop. Incredibly thin-bodied, and this is hot. Bads outweigh the goods.

Thanks to mj for the bottle, 12oz. Slightly hazy copper color with a smallish head. Aroma of caramel, earth and candied oranges. Alcohol is well covered, but the dirty-earthy taste is a distraction to the enjoyment. A bit of metal in the finish.

CLoudy burnt caramel pour, basically headless. Dried fruit, alcohol, soya and molassas aroma. Sweet, fruity with a sour finish. Very thin body.

Bottle at Klub-tasting - thanks Jannik. Clear red/amber - offwhite head. Raisins, berries, ryebread, lovely hoppy, sweetness, light glue, light alcoholic, sharpness, fruity, dark fruits, caramel, sopay, piney. OK !!
