This is batch 1000 at Auburn Hills loc. They are calling it FRANKENSTEIN. Tap: Dark brown with a decent head. Sweet malt aroma of brown sugar/molasses. Sweet malt flavor front to back with even sweeter aftertaste. Nice heavy winter time sipper.

Draught at the brewpub, as Brandyriver Barley Wine, 9.1% ABV
Beautiful amber color and nice lace. Malty aroma with some hops. Medium body structure, well malty, with a very good hopping (with resins); very pleasant brew, closer to an American Strong Ale.

Brandywine Barleywine. Nice aroma and color. You taste the alcohol immediately, but mouthfeel was very thin with little malt character. Sufficient hop bitterness for American style however no hop aroma or flavor. A very unimpressive barleywine.

draft at 2004 MSBF. average creamy head, dark amber color. complex aromam of molasses, nuts, with some hops and alcohol. a monster of a beer--very heavy. i’d drink it again!

Draft at the Michigan Brewers Fest. Deep rich malt/molasses aroma. Pitch black. Tan head is thick. Flavor of chocolate and malt. Smooth flavor, appropriate hop balance.
