Can: Poured a light copper color barleywine with a small off-white foamy head with limited retention and light lacing. Aroma of grainy malt notes with some caramelized malt and residual sugar notes. Taste is an unbalanced mxi of grainy malt, caramelized malt with some gross residual sugar notes. Body is light with good carbonation and some warming alcohol notes. Lacking balance and attenuation.

A lightly hazed reddish copper barley wine with no head. In aroma, sweet caramel malt with vinous notes, gin alcohol, OK. In mouth, a nice sweet caramel malt with light vinous character, alcohol warmth, light Gin character, pleasant.

I loved the alesong barleywines I had yesterday but this is a tiny bit thicker and more flavorful and dang is it deliciously caramelly sticky sweet and smooth booze. Almost a chocolatey vanilla stacked caramel flavor. Thanks Carl !
