Last beer sampled on a recent day at the brewery on a nice summer afternoon. Barley wines have become an appreciated style of beer so I have been looking forward to this tasting. Delivered on tap in a snifter with a generous serving by the server, thank you very much. It is a dark amber-brown with reddish highlights and an almost non-existent ring of tan foam. The smell is of dark fruit and wheat bread. I have a drink and determine caramel, honey, grain, plums, malt and a bit of raisin. Just the right sweetness. A credible barley wine.
