Commercial Description:
This brew has a big malt flavor backed by a fruit taste. Barlewines are big strong ales with a large dose of hops to balance the malty flavor. Brewed with pale, and crystal malts with chinook and cascade hops for flavor and aroma.

Deep amber color with an orange hue, big & soft off-white head, good lacing left around the glass, lots of malt in the nose, notes of caramel, bread & oats, full-bodied but a little light in the flavors, lots of malt but not a whole lot of anything else, only a small trace of hoppy bitterness, a little off-balanced, too strong of an alcohol flavor as well, a bit of a disappointment

Deep amber color - medium head. Aroma of hops & caramel. Medium thin body, somewhat hoppy and sweet, but has a bad, burning finish, like the alcohol suddenly lashes out. Not sure what that was, may have just been the growler that it was poured from.
