Commercial Description:
Our Barley Wine is dark red in color and has an original gravity of 1.120 (24 Plato). The malt complexity of this classic ale style is incredible. The Broad Street Market is located just blocks from the Appalachian Brewing Company. This indoor farmers market was built in 1863 and is one of the oldest continuously operating farmers markets in the United States. The beautiful brick façade and natural wood doors are typical of the structures in Downtown Harrisburg; including our own building.

Bottle via the epeeist, thanks! Pours a dark rusty ruby color with a smallish tan colored head. Aroma is sweet malts, dark dried fruits, citrus. Flavor is caramel, rasins, molasses, citrus. Palate si full bodied, mild carbonation, finished sweet with light only light alcohol warming, considering this 12.8%. Very good!

12oz bottle. Poured a medium to deeper mahogany color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of caramel, nutty, citrus, and some dark fruits. Tastes of caramel, chocolate, dark fruits, brown sugar, molasses, citrus, chocolate, and some roastiness. Light alcohol in the finish, but not giving way the almost 13%. Well done ABC.

Poured a deep mahogany with one finger tan head. Aroma of dried fruits, brown sugar and caramel. The flavor was caramel malts, cherries, toffee, and bitter hops. Good body and a nice smooth finish. The alcohol was barely noticeable even at 12.8%. Damn good barley wine.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark red-brown color with a large brown head. The aroma was tangy molasses, cherry and chocolate. The flavor was tangy and malty with notes of cherry and a strong dry chocolate presence that kept building and building. A bit of alcohol shows through. The mouthfeel was fairly thick. Way more chocolate than I am used to seeing in a barleywine. Delicious.

Great reddish color. Not much head or lacing. Bottle to chilled mug. Medicinal type aftertaste a result of the high alcohol content. Me like.

12oz. Bottle: Complex aroma of hops, malts, grapes, fruits, slight smoke, light alcohol, light dark ripe fruits, cherries, and cola. Poured brown/dark orange/ruby in color with a small off-white/tan head that disappeared very quickly. Clear. Slightly sparkling. Full of tiny, and a few large, particles throughout. Flavor is complex and medium sweet. Tastes of hops, malts, chocolate, tar, tobacco, fruit, wood, cherries, alcohol, caramel, and some molasses. Medium body. Slightly sticky texture. Soft to average carbonation. Sweet, malty, woody, tocacco and chocolate finish. 12.8%ABV is very well hidden. The best beer I have had from Appalachian Brewing Company.

Pours a dark mahogany with a medium beige/light brown head. Aroma of candied sugar and sweet malt. Taste of candied sugar, sweet malt and citrusy hops. Damn good barley wine.

Pours a very dark brown with a tan head. Big nose, raisins, sweet maple syrup. Silky mouthfeel, very warming. Walnuts, dark fruit, sweet caramel dominate this malty brew. Very sweet finish. Worth searching out, but I tend to gravitate toward the sweeter styles...
