Bottle from Daly’s, Boyle [160317]
Chesnut brown, light haze, massive gusher, constant frothing up from bottle for ages
Aroma of soft fruits, caramel malts, some acetone/varnish, alcohol
Taste of sweet caramel malts, soft fruits, toffee, slightly toasty malts, alcohol very prominent
Palate - Medium carb (Very high carb at first!), sweet, no hiding of the booze, tastes more like 10% than 8.5%. Finish of fruity malts, hot alcohol
Overall - Too boozy, not much complexity to the flavour, just fruity caramel malts, huge gusher. Not a big fan of barley wines, but this wasn’t a good example

500ml bottle. Upon opening the bottled started gushing, most likely my fault for transporting it several thousand kilometres. Pours slightly hazy gold with a large white head. Aroma is biscuit, citrus, floral hops. Taste is hops, citrus, caramel. Quite highly carbonated.
