Our American-style Barleywine undergoes a three hour boil to intesify the caramel malts and the enormous Pacific Northwest hop charge. The result is a rich, estery brew with toffee notes and citrus hop flavors layered throughout. Enjoy this brew fresh today or lay it down for aging to see how the flavors of each vintage evolve.

Sampled from a 22 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark chestnut color with a large orange-tan head. The aroma was dry, harsh and bitter fruity and floral hops with a touch of cherry. The flavor was bitter and harsh with fruity hops and sour, nutty malts. There was a hint of molasses underneath. The finish was long, bitter and harshly hoppy. The mouthfeel was moderately thick. Enjoyable if unspectacular.

Bottle as shown. Pours a cloudy amber color with a medium light tan head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is a sweet fruit malt with caramel. Decent lacing on the glass. The taste is rich citrus hop with a bitter finish that does not hide the alcohol well. Still a good barleywine from Green Flash.

Small offwhite head. Deep red body with vigourous carbonation. Deep firm raisiny malty aroma with roasty caramelly hoppy notes. Dry-sweet roasty wooden malty raisiny taste with grassy hoppy peppery notes. Full body. Some alcohol heat. Dry wooden grassy roasty aftertaste with pine needle notes. Very, very good. (0.65l bottle. Not sure who from.)

22 oz bottle courtesy of Thaichile. Pour is clearish cordovan with a 1/2 inch off white head. Aroma of rounded citrus and pine hops. Some malty sweetness underneath the initial hop bitterness. Taste of sharp maltiness, roast and pine orange hoppiness. Some weird residual chemical going on. Palate and aftertaste are hang around a bit too long. Hmm, not real big on this. Its drinkable, and nice enough, just didn’t fully come together to me.

Bottled, thanks Crosling! Hazy ruby, small head. Aroma of juicy lychee and grapefruit. Sure, it’s malty, but it’s dominated by juicy fresh citric hops. The carmelly malt is a mere excuse for the 10%. The hoppy lychee flavours later turns into long powerful bitterness. Certianly not the most complex barley wine, but very good.

Bottle. Pours a dark amber color with a small off-white head. Long hoppy malty aroma with some hints of caramel. Sweet malty dark fruit flavor with lots of hoppy hints. Sweetish malty hoppy bitter finish.

Bottled, bought in Vejle. Clear amber color, short head. Aroma is very hoppy, some caramel malt, hint of toffee and citrus. Very hopbitter taste, malty body. Not a typical example of the style I guess, but nevertheless nicely balanced and good.
