3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Deep copper pour with foamy white head and lace. Aroma of dried fruit and a hinto abv. Sweet rock candy like flavor an hinto warmth and a decent bitter. A bit odd. A bottle that I’ve had at least 3 years. Not really special to me.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
From the Cortland Bottle Shop. The beer pours an amber color, white head. The flavor is fruit, bread, flowers, citrus. Strong hop presence. Flavor is the same, more citrus than flowers. Also, a slight flavor of soap. The finish is flowers, citrus, soap. Medium/thick in body. Good, but a bit odd. Hoppy for the style, and the weird soap thing.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Sample at the Blarney Wine tasting on 03/16/2013: Hazy deep copper color with a medium beige head that diminishes slowly. Patchy lacing on the glass. Aroma of malt, caramel and grapeftuit. Medium to full body with flavors of bready malt, citrusy hops and a touch of vanilla. The finish is sweet with a citrus and malt aftertaste. Above average overall.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Not a bad barley wine, not great. Some toffee, caramel, raisins. Nice hop presence, however the corn sugar to malt ration is a little high I think BC it has a cidery bite and the malty mouth feel is lacking. Don’t care for this yeastat all
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
A very hoppy Barleywine that is balanced by equally bitter taste. Very good and would recommend this to any Barleywine drinkers.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bomber poured a clear orange amber with a small lingering amber head. Aromas of carmel, orange zest, straw, light spice and light mint. Palate was medium bodied and smooth with a dry finish. Flavors of carmel, orange zest, light earthiness and a hint of spice with a smooth dry finish.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle shared by mista. Pours light brown with little aroma. Flavor was a typical barleywine. Not bad, had nice mouthfeel and was very drinkable. I didn’t recognize the assertive hops or big malt balance described on this one.
