Viking Brewing Berserk Barleywine

bomber. red shade of mahogany brown with an off white/tan ring for a head. very floral initial aroma is followed by malt, vanilla, cooked yellow peaches, brown sugar and a touch of spiciness. the flavor is peachy, grainy and much the same as the aroma with just a slight bitter touch on the finish. medium bodied and easy enough to drink a lot of without it getting sticky. no way it’s 12%. 6/4/6/4/13/3.3

Medium dark pour. Very fruity aroma with sweet malt. More dark fruit and sweet malt in the flavor. Alcohol was prevalent but not too harsh.

Lil bottle i’ve had in the cellar for quite some time. I got this via trade a ways back. Pours dark brown with a tan head. Nose is sweet but small. Taste is sweet and rich and much better than I had expected. Additionally it is so smooth for 12% this bottle is at least 2 years old.
