Bottle @ Patricks. Unclear golden body under a medium sized white head. Aroma has malt, pear, grapes and hint of funk. The taste is medium sweet malt, fruity, pear, grapes, some grass, hint of acidity and a funky touch. Alcohol is well hidden. Balanced body with nice aftertaste. It was actually a miss order as I was a bit sceptic to pear flavor in a barley wine. Can’t say this reminds me of a barley wine at all, sure a big surprise and difficult to put this in any particular style – think of a Belgium strong ale, pale but not as sweet as a triple, then a subtle fruitiness with just a faint hint of funk. Smooth, nice and unusual.
