4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle from Brewery Creek, Vancouver
Very dark brown color, almost black; medium sized compact head.
Deep aroma: molasses, hops, caramel, cream, chocolate, vanilla oak; seducing.
The body is very strong, the mouthfeel is heavy and round; there is a powerful caramel flavor, but also a light touch of roasted malt that tries to balance it; the high residual sweetness is hidden by a strong hopping; there are traces of liquorice too. The final shows a light sourness from the roasted malts, and all other flavors well blended together.
Very good Barley Wine.
