The label says Black Barleywine Ale, so I will go with that. Barley wines have grown on me, rather like them these days. I purchased this White Pony offering from the fine folks at Belgian Happiness. Flipping the tab on the 33 cl can and pouring into a snifter. Delightfully dark with a hint of brown around the edges and topped with a fawn tan, velvety head. The fragrance is strong and I mean that in a good way. Dark plums, ripe fruit and yeast. A drink follows, I get more of the imperial stout but there is assuredly a barley wine impact. Chocolate, grain, raisins, stewed plums, malt, a touch of coal and berries. Some sweetness with a nice bitterness. The high abv is well concealed. Good.
