Pours super clear, deep ruby amber colour.Totally see-through, little but of carb, thin head with big bubbles. Quickly fizzes away. Smell is a lot of deep caramel malt and a nice sharp spicy note. Can smell the alcohol. Smells like there might be some bitterness, I know that’s weird, you cant smell bitter, but its like it doesn’t smell like its going to be sickly sweet. It seems as though there will be some hoppy bitterness in it, but there isn’t really anything other than a strong spicy character from the hop going on. Might be from the alcohol… what do I know, I probably only drink molson. Taste starts off intense caramel deep rich malt, and the spice, but then you start to get some alcohol flavour, like a very very faint brandy like sharpness, and pleasant bright red fruit sweetness cuts through everything. Gradually replaced by a nice hop bitterness, its not too intense, but its definitely there. Alcohol warmth really carries through. Bordering on heat, but it’s a nice intense warmth that spreads through your throat. Finish is alcohol and spiciness. Mouth feel is great, medium to full, the carb is perfect, not very bubbly at all. Very nice Barley Wine.
