<b>19-Jan-08</b> <i>&#40;Draft: Connoisseur’s Session, 2008 Great Alaskan Beer and Barley Wine Festival in Anchorage, AK&#41;</i> <b>2007 Vintage</b> A medium-sweet, grainy malt flavor dominates this English-style ale. Plenty of honey adds to the sweetness and a light bitterness builds on the palate over a few sips. In the nose, it’s grainy &#40;but not corny&#41; and a bit of some apple, but not really much in the way of hops. Medium-bodied on the palate and nicely balanced. Golden in color and clear with a small, whitish head that settles to a wide ring. The brewery staff at the festival said this beer was a strong ESB, but it’s a bit heavy and sweet for that. Interesting beer though.
