Peaks Big Ass Plum Red

Brewed by Peaks Brewpub
Style: Barley Wine
Port Angeles, Washington USA

12oz draft Brouwer’s. Murky toffee brown with orange tint and thin head. Smells like straight caramel apple, not much else. Really sweet up front with tons of Fuji apple then some sharp bitterness rolling into fusel alcohol. I guess it is interesting concept but pretty far from a barley wine imho.

(Draft) Sampled at GCBF 2009 in Victoria on September 9, 2009. Great very chewy. Nice abv very fig. Clove. Bubblegum. Nice malt front. Good spice. 7/3/6/3/13

Great Canadian Beer Festival – 2009 – Victoria BC
This was a Barley wine had some nice fruit flavor this was like a strong fruit beer. A reasonable brew I will have to go back and try again when I have the chance.

On tap at Peaks in Port Angeles. Was told this was a barleywine. Flavor was fruity and floral, with the abv well hidden. Fairly sweet. Dark amber in color. A pretty solid beer.
