Oct 19, 2009 Draught. Mondiale 2009 - day 2. Hazy deep amber pour with an average lasting off-white creamy head. BIG alcohol/caramel malt nose here, with almost as prominent resin/citrus bitterness as well. The taste is big and brassy, but I like my BWs that way - a huge raw-edged citrusy/malty alco-bomb, not too sweet, but aggressive as all hell; raw, young and pugnacious. Thick mouthfeel, plenty of bitterness from all the alcohol and spicy hoppiness, the malt eventually gives up the ghost and the finish is all alcohol and dry bitterness - a solid, enjoyable young American’-style barleywine, reminded me of extremely fresh Stone Double Bastard.

Aug 17, 2009 Draught at ’Mondial de la Biere 2009’, Montréal, QC. Pours a deep orange-amber with a small diminishing off-white head. Aroma and flavour are a bit boozier then I’d like, sweet with a good amount of hops along with caramel malt and alcoholic bitter finish. Medium bodied. Pretty good but I was expecting better, which it would be if the alcohol was less prominent.
