Full Sail Old Boardhead Barleywine

Thanks Hayduke! This beer pours a cloudy medium brown with plenty of visible carbonation. A nice light tan head stays for a while and the second, and warmer, pour offers a bigger head. Aroma is toasty malt and is not big. Flavor is also malt with rye. That rye has a big bite to it. There is some dark fruit flavor and some nice hop notes. Alcohol becomes more apparent as the beer warms and caramel and some chocolate become more prominent. Flavors move in and out. Very nice.

Orange brown pour with a red tint. Fluffy white head. Crisp caramel malt flavor with grain. Slightly sweet with lots of malt and honey and molasses.

Bottled, 2008 version. Clear orange color, medium off-white head. Aroma of slight hop, caramel. Malty taste. Bit sweet, bitter. Decent.

Bottle @ tasting by jbrus. A little hazy amber colored beer, with a small beige head. The aroma of caramel, coffee candy with fruits like raisins. The taste of sweet fruits, moving over to hop bitter. The aftertaste is dry bitter.

Bottle@UDRM. Tnx JBrus! The aroma has raisin maltiness, some sugar. Clear, orange coloured beer with a lasting head. The taste is a bit sweet, has hopbitter, raisin, caramel, sugar. Quite harsh.

Bottle@UDRM. Spicy, raisin and strawberry aroma. Light brown, beige head, good lace. Malt sweet, bitter to very harsh bitter finish. Not exception.

22 oz. bottle - 2007 vintage. Amber pour. Aromas of toffee, sugar, honey and alcohol. Favor is a sweet mix of the flavors. Not the top of the style, but solid none the less.

JW77 with a nice barleywine...thanks John. Pours a nice amber color with a small white head. Caramel, toffee, brown sugar, and some floral hops make up the aroma. What a great balance between sweet malt and a deft touch of hops. Really a gem.
