Commercial Description:
At Weyerbacher, we prefer to brew things true to European style guidelines, so our barley wine is definitely on the malty side, without being overly sweet. Notes of date or perhaps fig on the palate follow a pleasurably malty aroma to your taste buds. The finish is warm and fruity, and begs for the next sip.

Bottle@DTS. Sweet, malty and apple aroma. Amber color, off-white head, good lace. Very sweet, bitter, apple. Sticky mouthfeel. Alcoholic, too sweet, boring. More like an ok European Strong Lager.

12oz bottle from Kingdom Liquors (Tampa, FL). Pours a dark reddish brown with a thick and frothy tan head that settles slowly. Good head retention and lacing on glass. Aroma is sweet malt, maple syrup, dark ripe fruit, some molasses and caramel. Flavor is much of the same: sweet malts, caramel, slight hoppy bitterness throughout with a clean, sweet finish. Medium-bodied with notes of phenol.

Pours a hazy brownish color with an off white head. Aroma is of a lot of dark fruits, malts, and some alcohol. Flavor is very sweet but not overly done and is balanced by some hops.

On tap @ redlight redlight. Pours a reddish amber with a light tan ring of head. Sweet malts, caramel, fruity, a little bit of hops on the nose. Boozy flavor, sweet caramel malts, bitter hops make a appearance at the finish. Med mouthfeel.

Clear amber color with a tanish head that settles down to small patches and a thin ring around the glass. Aroma is caramel, woody with some alcohol surfacing. Much of the same in the flavor with the addition of sweet malts, toffee and some spiciness. Some alcohol shows towards the finish, although not as alcoholic as I was expecting. A solid barleywine.
