Top of the Hill Pop the Cap Barleywine

Draft. Pours amber with aroma of malt, some figs, dark fruit, and caramel. The flavor is toffee malty, with some hints of caramel, dark fruit, and a sweet prune element. Not terribly complex.

On tap. Pours copper/amber. Aroma of raisin and sweet maltiness. Flavor is overpoweringly sweet, with raisins and caramel, and some floweriness. Very unbalanced, finishing sticky, cloying, and alcoholic.

Draught at the brewpub. Amber with thin head. Low carbonation. Malty nose with caramel and alcohol flavors.
