Sample taste at Chicago Beer Society meeting & Randy Mosher birthday party, Dec. 1. Another barleywine? Why, sure! I’m thinking this is still a very young BW, of course. It’s pretty yeasty, too, so it needs at least a few more months to settle down. But at this stage, it can still offer up a whallop of malt flavor, with strong caramel, toffee, and lighter bourbon notes. Not much hops to speak of just a strong bitter presence to balance out the malt bill. I will definitely want to check out the brewpub itself and revisit this stuff at a later date.
