Bottle. Aroma is great, that barley wine thing, tutti fruttis, honey, sticky, pineapple. Taste is great, so easy drinking. Sweetness, little bit of hoppiness, no hint of the booze, caramel. Really nice. --- Beer merged from original tick of First Gold Rush Barley Wine on 09 Sep 2019 at 16:03 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 9 | Flavor - 10 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 9.

Pours amber, bit of foam. Aroma is nice, smooth and velvety. Sweet and candy-like a bit. Taste is also sweet, caramel, bitter kicks in there. Quite sweet but not cloying. Drinks easy, even dangerously so for a 14,5 percent beer. Herbal notes linger in the aftertaste.

Medium amber color. Lots of pineapples, cherries, brown sugar, bread in the nose. The mouth is very full body, lots of brandy in the mouth. Boozy and fun

12 oz. bottle, bottle reads 14.5%, pours an opaque dark amber / ruby red with a small head. Aroma bring out loads of dark fruits (plums especially), some caramel, not really a hint of the brett yeast. Flavour is extremely fruity, bringing out loads of dark fruits (nectarine, plum, etc.), some peaches, caramel, residual sugars, and booze. Very fruity, boozy and quite sweet. Not the most well-integrated barley wine. The brett isn't really noticeable at all. Drinkable in small doses. Decent, but too cloyingly sweet.
