Three Floyds Bourbon Behemoth with Cherries

Very nice balance of cherry and bourbon that the alcohol hid behind. Not much head from little corbonation. I enjoyed this beer but not enough to go back. To many other worthy barley wines.

Finally got to try some Three Floyds at NOTB, and I can say that I was not disappointed in the least. Great balance between sweetness and bitterness. I would have expected a cloying brew considering that a 12.5% barleywine was combined with cherries, but the barrel-aging really mellow this one out. Citrus, toffee, caramel, cherry, whiskey, bitter hops. Really a beautiful brew.

Not bad. The barleywine is so big that it really pushed the cherries aside for me - really crammed them into the very top. The remaining tartness also kind of killed the depth of the body. I should drink this again.

(Draft) pours a cloudy reddish brown body with a small beige head. Aroma of breadiness, toffee, cherry, and citrus. Flavor of citrusy hops, toffee, bread, vanilla, nuts, light cherry, and oak.

NOTB; another beer that I liked the original better, although the aging wasn’t overdone and did add some new elements to the beer. Enjoyed the palate on this one. The cherry and wood/whiskey/bourbon aspects were just flavor accents. As mentioned, enjoyed the original better, but still thought this was one of the better beers of the night.
