COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The romantic term "barley wine" is used for the beers with an alcoholic content similar to the one of the wine. Of color bronze, the Antares Barley Wine is a hard licorosa beer and maltose, with an intense frutado accent, that remembers white grapes to us, originating of leavenings.

MiP (11783) - Sønderborg, DENMARK - AUG 22, 2009
Bottle, 10%. Sweet vegetable aroma. Hazy dark golden colour. Very small stable white head. The flavour starts off with some rough bitterness, hint of caramel. Quite some vegetable in the flavour as well. Nowhere near good enough considering the ABV.

Ungstrup (23917) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - AUG 1, 2009
Bottled. An unclear golden beer with a lazing orangey head. The aroma is sweet with notes of malt and alcohol. The flavor is sweet iwth notes of malt and alcohol, leading to a dry finish where notes of straw and alcohol lingers.

Nuffield (3083) - Roseville, Minnesota, USA - JUL 31, 2009
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.

MmmcKay (891) - Brentwood, Tennessee, USA - MAY 3, 2009
Butters cellar blow out tasting. One of my least favorites of the tasting. Probably should have had this earlier. Is just not showing like the other beers tonight.

ScottyP (425) - Brentwood, Tennessee, USA - MAY 3, 2009
Butters Big Blowout - Pours a cloudy amber. Aroma is fruity,malty. Similar taste, slight apple bitterness. Smooth for the most part. Medium bodied beer. Okay, not great.

Butters (3013) - Richmond, Virginia, USA - MAY 3, 2009
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.

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.
