Barley Wine Ale is a legendary top-fermented brew with a deep amber/orange color, an intense fruit and malt nose that is laced with alcohol accented by the sweet aromas of Port. This "wine" made with barley is brewed with a French yeast culture and possesses a complex flavor of rich malt, fruit esters, and sherry-like qualities that is delicately balanced with hops.

Bottled. An amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet with notes of apples, malt, and caramel. The flavor is sweet malty with a thick note of caramel, as well as a light note of wood, leading to a finish that leaves a slight alcohol burn in the throat. A boring Barley Wine.

(Bottle 47,3 cl) Courtesy of sk8viking. Vintage 2006. Clear, amber golden with a dense, yellowish head. Lightly caramellish nose. Full-bodied and full of sweet caramel with a slightly burned edge. The finish has a vague bitterness. Not really convincing for a Barley Wine. 290607

Wax capped bottle. Pour is a dark amber with a nice sized tan head. Aroma is some tart fruit with molasses and a vinegar smell. Flavor is super rich malts and tons of woody smokeyness. Some plum and pear fruit show up on the swallow. Alcohol is there but not overpowering. A tasty barleywine with some excellent qualities.

Better than I expected from Sprecher. This barleywine is sweet rather than loaded with hops. Lots of malt and fruit in the aroma and flavor, as well as some sugar. Kind of like syrup, I think it is much better than its percentile suggests.
