Samurai Barleywine Ale has been cellared in earthen-pots in the mountains of Niigata, Japan for many months before being bottled. Dark malt flavors with berry aromatics make for a complex and deep lingering Barleywine Ale.

Bottle from Big Star in Seattle. Pours hazy brown sugar with a slight off-white head. Rather sugary aroma. Med plus body. Flavor is something like plum with a lot of brown sugar and a little bit of hop bitter. More than a little bit. Enough to balance the malt. Far from the usual sticky sweet BW. This is a good one.
