A beautiful Golden Amber Barley Wine that is deceptively and perhaps dangerously drinkable at it's elevated ABV. Named for a notorious drinking den in up State New York, Benny Havens will have you singing by closing. Delightful fruity mountains of fruity malt flavours, a little roastyness and devastating late heat. Note the BA is different.

Can from the Packie
Pours a cloudy deep amber color with a decent sized off white head that shows moderate retention. caramel and dark sugar with bits of dark fruit and a touch of warming alcohol. Decent sipper.

Large rocky white head stayed on a bright amber coloured body.
Boozy, cheese & sweaty feet aroma.
Medium to full bodied, soft & creamy with a subtle cloying back.
Blue cheese, crackers, apricot, sherry & marmalade tastes with a bitter finish.
Very complex sipper - Good.

Lattina. Sentori di sottobosco vanno a dare soddisfazione al naso. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera normale e la maniera in cui permane è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma è destinato a vita breve. Le bollicine sono grandi. Il liquido è di consistenza abbastanza limpida. La carbonazione è praticamente piatta. Il colore è ramato. Il corpo è strutturato ma duttile e articolato. L'amaro è pronunciato. La forza gustativa è elevata. La continuità gustativa è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano luppolate e di "buona birra". Il finale è amarognolo. Il retrogusto è intenso e persistente. In bocca l'aroma è quello di miele, luppolo, resina, pino, erba, agrumi, pompelmo, frutta passita, caldo e alcol presente non invadente.

Can from Geers. Hazy dark orange-amber, stable, foamy, off-white head. Aroma of marmalade, apricot jam, orange peel, dark honey, peanut, biscuit, hard caramel, dust, rainwater, vague blue cheese. Taste has sweet apricot, orange & pear in a caramelly, marmalade-like malt body with a spoon of honey; bitter orange peel & herbs lead the way to the herbal hoppy finish that is slightly nutty; dried fruit & caramel are dominant but bitter citrus peel, grapefruit peel almost, lends sufficient bitterness; some warming liqueur alcohol in the back. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. A very surprising interpretation of the Barley Wine style.

Last one of the day. Smell-weak, malt. Foam-malty, sweet, alcohol, bit sour, and acidic. Head is small, white, dirty white color, creamy-brown-ish tint. Appearance- simple can, looks nice, but no bonus. Hazy orange color, few carbonation bubbles. From - snifter Taste - malty, bitter, weak hops, bit acidic, alcohol. Bitter tones and alcohol overwhelming this. Quite bad, maybe with aging can get better.

Nez aux notes fermières. Bouche sur la cendre, le tabac. Le goût est vraiment fort, prenant, et reste sur la langue vraiment très longtemps. Une bière vraiment surprenante et unique, sans que je puisse dire avoir vraiment adoré.
