American Style barleywine: so named because of its high, wine-like alcohol content and the usage of American hops. Deep amber in color and full bodied, with a blend of fruitiness, maltiness and hop bitterness to balance.

Copper brown ake with a foamy off-white head. Raisinous alcohol aroma with a bit of wet dog thrown in. Explosions of flavours in mouth, sweet demera sugars, alcohol, resinous hops and licorice. Complex bodied. Wow!

Another barleywine to insult or praise. Mostly praise, which is usually heaped on my barleywine experiences. A bready, caramely, fruity aroma emanates from the murky red-brown body. Flavor is of raisins, prunes, bread, caramel, prime rib, lobster, havarti,...(note to self: stop after caramel). Still, the body is a bit thin even though the flavor is strong, and the alcohol dominates the taste on the way down. With that in mind, this isn't one of my favorite barleywines, but it is still a tasty affair.

Tasted at the Barrelhouse Brewing Company Microbrew Fest on November 9. This was a pretty good Barley Wine. It was a deep dark orange color with a thin beige head. Pointed barley aroma, with equal parts malt and alcohol in the flavor. Overall this was a strong, complex, and very good beer.
