COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Deep, mahogany color, rich malt candied, rock sugar flavors with sweet burnt currant and fig aromas. It’s strong alcohol content is tempered by a clean bitterness and complex flavors. This Barley Wine is named for Cornelius de Boom, the San Francisco Belgian Consulate General (1850 to 1851) and surprisingly the name of the alley along-side the 21st Amendment on 2nd Street.–

On tap @ the Green Dragon. Amber brown brew with a bit of off-white head. Aromas of toffee, caramel and bready malts, citrus and pine hops. Dark fruit and toffee flavors with tons of malt.

Super sweet, overtly so, with cascading bitterness on the end. Not really complex, just a ton of sugar, corn syrup, toffee, caramel and citrus.

From bottle. Dark amber color. Boozy hop aroma, with hint of sweetness. Flavor is citrus, caramel, dark cherry, and hops. Finishes with a nice booze warming.

Aubrey (3347) - Bellingham, Washington, USA - MAY 22, 2013
Rather fruity barleywine. Not bad, just surprising. Malt side is toasty, toffee-ish, caramelly, and nutty. Hop side is herbal, earthy, and floral. Bitterness is balanced. Alcohol is warming.

This brown colored beer has tinges of red. It has sweet fig like aromas. It hits your tongue with a strong bitterness. It finishes with a mild sweetness which has fruity notes. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Pours red / brown with very little tan head. Aroma is rather fruity and sweet. A bit thin in mouth, rather salty. Bitter alcohol burn finish.

rodenbach99 (2510) - Longueuil, Quebec, CANADA - MAY 11, 2013
Cannette de 8,4oz comme sur la photo. Merci Patrick. Robe cuivrée foncée avec une mousse beige durable. Au nez du caramel et des houblons américains. Simple mais efficace. En bouche le liquide ne sort pas du rang, du caramel, de l’érable et de l’alcool. Un barley wine américain classique. Brassée le 5/2/2013.

Nice aroma with a hood presentation. Not to heavy on the palate and a medium hop presence. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

nike (746) - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 10, 2013
ist barley wine I’ve tried in a can. The beer had a aroma and taste of metallic can. Strong alcohol taste, full to medium bodied, basement aromas, sticky, slick feel. The caramel taste made it drinkable, just not for me.

8.4oz can picked up at 21st Amendment
Appearance: Pours clear dark amber with a small cream beige head and spotty lacing
Aroma: Ripe fruit and toasted malts
Taste: Toasted malts, toffee, burnt sugars and fruity
The alcohols are well hidden and a lot going on. A nice beer.

Caramel colored pour, light head. Brown sugar, caramel, spicy hops, dark honey, light butterscotch candy. I enjoyed this. Funny little can. Bold beer.
