3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
An unclear dark amber beer with no head. The aroma is very hoppy, sweet, and malty. The flavor is very sweet and very hoppy = very simple, and with alcohol burning the tongue. For me, this is too simple.

Amber color. Sweetish malt and caramel aroma, mature. Strong body, sweet caramel and malt flavor, somehow the alcohol is too much present; it has a nutty side; strong bitterness, resiny. Fairly good American Barley Wine, but I was expecting more.
