On tap at the brewery, aged 1 year. Amber, bright, very thin head. Very sticky and rich. Intense bitterness. This is a year old? Jesus. I mean it’s a decent Am BW but it is so intense.

Cool 25oz squat crowler pours with a clear amber body that has golden hued edges and supports a dirty white head of foam. The modest aroma offers up booze, cherry like esters, a dash of molasses, malts and crystal malts. The taste delivers smooth sweet malts and sweet crystal malts as well as a thin molasses sensation. To midway booze is met by some sweet cherry like esters. The esters are mild and don’t add much or take away from the experience. Behind the sweetness are struggling notes of pine, floral and spicy bitter hoppiness. Pretty decent barleywine sipper.
