Commercial Description:
An aborted batch of their Old Gnarleywine ended up tasting nearly as good as that they were hoping for, so they bottled it. God bless capitalism.

Thank god for brewing mistakes, I am currently aging some of this and I suspect it should do extremely well considering its high alcohol content, barley style characheristics, and overall dankness. Almost tastier in bottle than on tap. Unique flavor in this beer and yu can almost tatste the brown shugga

12 oz twist-off stubby bottle, pours a coppery amber, and has a unique sweet aroma, accented by salty and bitter notes - immature green hops flavor, hops bitterness is present but not seamless. medium-bodied, particularly for a barley wine, and surprisingly light on the finish. (perhaps it’s just drier than the aroma and flavor would imply?) good beer, but unrefined as a barley wine.

Bottle. Pours amber. Taste is sweet, body is sweet, alcohol is very well hidden. High class malt liquor.

Pours dark amber with almost no head. Smelled like brown sugar, and tastes the same. Very smooth.

Better thefirst time, in bombers, better in 6 packs. On tap it is much the same butwiht a slight soapyness. Still strong and nice with abitter sweet profile. Will take an other look next time I have a bottle.

Poured a cloudy brown color with an off white head. Aroma was very sweet and malty, mainly the brown sugga i guess. Flavor was much the same, actually tasted like brown sugar, hardly any bitterness to be found.
