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.

Bottle, thx to the_epeeist. It pours a dark golden to copper body, with a lovely, dense, off-white head. It has a malty-sweet nose with a fruity hoppyness, but it’s not as pronounced as I could wish for. The flavor is sweet and malty as well, with a fruityness from the hops, but maybe a bit low on hops, even though I tend to like the barley wines on the sweet and malty side. Full body, maybe a bit sticky in the mouth. The bitterness in this beer is most evident in the long finish. Having this after Victory Old Horizontal was a little down-trip, and maybe not fair to the beer, but it’s far from being bad though. Very far. (071123)

Pours clear mahogany with an off-white head. The aroma is largely dried fruit with some caramel, but there is a fishy aroma thing going on here that detracts in a big way. Smooth, slightly sweet. Not much complexity here.

Hazy red to dark amber color; nice creamy head and lace. Powerful aroma, malty and sweet, with a touch of apples. Very sweet flavor, malty, with a touch of wood (at least bringing in some light astringency to counterbalance). A bit off track, but very enjoyable for me.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of boboski. Clear, dark, amber golden with a creamy, beige head leaving some lacework. Fat aroma of caramel and aroma hops. Quite full-bodied, somewhat sticky sugar and caramel accents. Some floral accents and some bitterness in the finish. Not very balanced. 171107

Bottle 12 oz from Ross!!! Nose of light piney hops with a little plums and prunes mixed with caramel; rusty red with a medium straw colored head; flavor of sweet golden raisins, caramel, in a mediumthick body and a slightly bitter and light alcohol finish. Good barleywine, underrated IMO!

Yet another bottle courtesy of boboski. Thanks again.
This beer poured a stunning clear deep copper with 3 inch fluffy tan head. It has a sweet aroma of candied cherries, plums and dates that have been beaten with a mallet and allowed to soak in alcohol. I also get a note of sweet caramel. The first impression of the flavor is that it tastes like an English style barleywine. There’s a medley of fruit such as dark dark cherries, sweet black grape juice, dates, raisins and cranberries. I also get a cherry cough drop quality.

Bottle (courtesy of TURDFERGUSON). Apple juice/marmalade and malt aroma. Dark amber color with small but long lasting head. Sweet cherry/apple jiuce flavor primarily - light bite of hops and alcohol to finish. Nice flavor without being cloying. Nice sweet barleywine without the more typical alcohol harshness.
