Review based on the BJCP2015 guidelines (style 22C). Bottle 50 cl - Batch L04 915T, BBF 11-2016. AROMA: moderate oxidized hop aroma with a cheese and dry grass notes. Malty background of a caramelly nature, with almost the same intensity. Slight esters (dried plums) and a medium-low peppery alcohol presence. APPEARANCE: dark copper color and clear. thin dark ivory head with low retention. TASTE: medium-high malt presence with a toffee and bread crust character. slight dried grapes note. medium-low hop flavor similar to the aroma. medium bitterness with a semi-dru finish. PALATE: full body with very low carbonation. alcohol warmth very smooth for 11.5% abv. OVERALL: an american barleywine that seemed to be bery good when fresh. It demands retasting when new batches are available.
