3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours clear and reddish copper with a scrumptious head of beige foam that fell to a thick cap and bewitching lace. Effervescing. Nose is strawberry, mango and sweet malt. Carmel toffee and as it warms sugar and molasses. Floral , oaky, and a little bread and butter. A musty breeze. First taste is sweet and then some. Juicy strawberry and mango and then the malt lays in it’s sweetness. There’s some alcohol warmth but on the second sip it’s alcohol on the palate. A touch of bitter to coat the throat as it goes down and some alcohol dryness. A bit of bread and butter in the dry finish. Body is thick and syrupy but also smooth and silky considering the candy sweetness and the alcohol presence. I am beginning to see why some people say that Southern Tier makes very sweet beers.

On tap at Petrol Station. Pours a cloudy amber with small beige head leaving sticky lacing. The aroma is a faint grain and oak. Medium mouthfeel with a sweet vanilla malt and oak with boozey finish. Good.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 14/20
A - Pours a hazy garnet brown. Tight off white head leaves minimal lacing.
S - Roasted caramel malt, doughy fruit bread, dark cherries, some tropical fruit.
T - Loads of caramel and toffee, caramelized brown sugar. Sugary cherries and fig brighten up the dense toffee while mild leafy and citrus hops breakthrough and add some spiciness. Bits of bitter pecan and pepper on the finish.
M - Full thick body, chewy and creamy at times.
Not sure how old this is buts it’s on the sweeter side of things, in a good way. Very rich and lots of complexity. This is more of a really well put together English Barleywine than it’s American counterpart.

4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
22 oz bomber, Andersons. A-holes next door are burning wood and I have my windows open, but here goes. Ruby-garnet pour, strong light tan head dissipates into a medium ring; very sparse covering; small head is revived with swirling. Aroma is vinous, oak, red-brown malt, some caramel, and evident alcohol. Big flavor with a moderately heavy dose of booziness; oak is evident here, and the alcohol is not well-hidden, probably just peeking over into the wrong side of astringent. Lots of frothy carbonation; not quite fizzy and not quite silky but definitely smooth. I’ll take Insanity over this in a heartbeat but this is in the same vein and very, very tasty.

Et ubestemmelig øl. Veldig mildt på smak. Nesten som det smaker mel. Likevell et godt øl som bør prøves.
