First, they brewed a beer called “Barley Wine”, but describe it as an “English Strong Ale”, and yet it’s 60 IBUs. None of that makes any sense.
On tap at R&B, pours a clear copper with a tiny beige head. Aroma is restrained, with soft bready malt, a touch of caramel, maybe a touch of resinous hops. Flavour is more potent, tasting more like an English barley wine, with caramel, butterscotch, toffee, maybe a hint of hoppy bitterness, and moderate-to-heavy residual sweetness. Pretty decent malt depth, albeit not too refined. This is actually half decent for R&B.
