This wasn’t very good. Vegetal flavors, lightly frothy, probably cannot be considered a barleywine in the sense that most beer drinkers would understand it. Bottle shared at RBSG 2009 grand tasting.

Bottle shared at Butter’s Big Cellar Blowout. Clear applejuice pour with thin ring of white head. Nose is weak corn adjunct and simple syrup. Syrupy sweet finish with a semi-bitter hop twinge. Pretty unimpressive actually. but it does completely hide the 10% abv.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20 Barrios (1243) - Nashville, Tennessee, USA - MAY 3, 2009
Bottle at Butters Big Cellar Blowout. Pours an off-white fading head with an amber body. Smells of caramel and wood. Taste is the same with some vanilla. Smooth for the abv but sickly sweet and not very palatable.
