The Duck-Rabbit Barleywine is the hoppiest of all the Duck-Rabbit brews. This is a Farmville-style Barleywine, crafted the way brewers in Farmville have always done. Loads of Amarillo hops give a piney citrusy bitterness that’s supported beautifully by a toffee malt backbone.

Pours deep amber into a snifter. White head recedes to nothing. Caramel aromas. Sweet dark caramel upfront turning to mild resin in the dry lasting finish.

355ml bottle. Brown colour with a nice formation of light tan, creamy and frothy head. Nice lacework on the cup. Aroma is sweet, malty and alcoholic. Flavour is bittery form the beginning to the end, with some honey hints, vinous traces and alcoholic. Dense on palate with a long aftertaste. Carbonation is medium. Body is medium to high. Texture is oily.

35,5 cl bottle @ home, BBE marking messed up on bottle
Very sweet aroma with sticky feeling that makes me wonder how oversweet the taste might be. Some ripe fruits and sugar. Flavour has alcohol, some fruits, berries and biscuits. Warming finish with almost stinging alcohol. Not good, too much alcohol and sweetiness.

Bottle courtesy of Grima, thanks! Lots of caramel, as expected, but better character and complexity than most barleywines.

355ml bottle. Clear dark amber with only a thin off-white, almost yellow film. Sweet malt aroma with hoppy overtones and a Marmite background. Taste is superposed by hop bitterness, leaving not enough room for development of thy malty part. Bitter and warming finish. A bit unbalanced in my opinion.
