Bottle from Brewdog. Pours dark amber with a small creamy off-white head. Aroma of sweet caramel, flowers and bread. Taste is good, moderate sweet malty, with traces of liquorice and chocolate, well balanced with well hidden alcohol. Lingering sweet malty caramel and liquorice, nice.

Bottle at North Bar, Leeds. I think this was my first barleywine, so I’m surprised I’ve not rated it yet. Pours a deep, ruby brown, small head. Aroma is red and dried fruits, big caramel, cinnamon and other spice. Taste is sweet (particularly for an American barleywine), with caramel, treacle, liquorice, sultanas. Full bodied, lasts forever, with bitterness finally showing up then. Oooh yes.

Pours a murky, deep dark brown color. Kinda looks like dark apple cider. Has a small light tan head. Aroma of grapes, dark fruit and a little booze. Taste starts with grapes, raisins and figs and finishes with a sweet malt, vanilla and light alcohol flavor. Hides the booze pretty well for the ABV. Mouth feel is medium bodied with a low to medium carbonation. Overall a tasty, balanced Barleywine.

355 ml bottle. BBE 29.04.2012.
Not as hoppy as it was fresh, no surprise there, there are some left still. Also lot more ripe fruits on the nose, plums and raisins. Taste is a bit rounder too and quite sweet with the caramel malts and some resin. Probably at it’s peak right about now.
355 ml bottle.
Originally rated on 20091211.
Pours clear dark amber color with a small head. Aroma of hops, ripe fruits, some caramel notes and light wooden hints. Subtle alcohol comes through too. Flavor of caramel, malts, ripe fruits, some toffee notes and yeast. Nice hoppy bw. Has maybe a bit raw feel to it though.
