Commercial Description:
At 10.5% alcohol by volume, barley wine style ale is in a class all its own. Intense caramelized flavors create sweetness which is balanced by huge additions of Galena hops. Cascade aromatic hops are added at the end of the boil to compliment this strongest of ales.

Dark Cabernet Color with No Head. Dark Fruit, Potent Aroma. Warming From Alcohol Works you Up Quite a Bit Throughout..Nice Hop Presence..Sweet Syrupy Body. Rich Maltiness. Would be Worth Aging This One to See if It Calms Down a Bit.

Bottle: Courtesy of Styles. The aroma has strong notes of caramel, chocolate, hints of banana bread, and faint citrus hops. It pours a transparent amber with a small white head. The flavor has lots of caramel, chocolate, and brown sugar. The flavor is pretty even throughout with some moderate bitterness in the finish. Seems like a pretty simple example of the style.

Murky reddish brown with small head. Deep fruit and caramel aroma is very nice...Taste is not as smooth as I expected. Definitely very sweet....a bit too much. Hops add quite a bite.

From a fresh growler from the brewry for our tasting at Bottleworks (thanks again to Kim and Guy!). Pours a lovely reddish amber brown with a very small off-white head that diminishes quickly. The aroma brings out a nice blast of apples, cherries, and dark and fruity malts. The flavor brings on somewhat of a light and sweet caramel malt taste in the beginning which slowly progresses into a more intense raisiny chalky (in a good way!) body which progresses right into a very rich, dense, and very well done alcohol and slightly hopped finish. Thick medium to full body. Not overly complex - which is quite nice with this one. A very solid brew...possibly my favorite from the Port Townsend Brewery!

(Bottle 65 cl) A beautiful, clear, reddish beer with a creamy, off-white head. Vinous, raisiny nose. Full-bodied, notes of caramel and LOTS of raisins in the flavour. And then some rather unusual - for its style - ashy edge. Typical - for a Barleywine - somewhat muddy hop profile. Still pleasant. 220406

A hazy red beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has strong notes of alcohol and berries, while the flavor is very sweet with strong notes of caramel and malt. Not that complex, but still nice.
