COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
At Weyerbacher, we prefer to brew things true to European style guidelines, so our barley wine is definitely on the malty side, without being overly sweet. Notes of date or perhaps fig on the palate follow a pleasurably malty aroma to your taste buds. The finish is warm and fruity, and begs for the next sip.

Bottle. Pours a hazy amber with no head. It has a nice boozy aroma. Taste is also kind of boozy, but combined with some fruit and caramel. TExture is thick and oily. A decent beer.

boxofrane (205) - pottstown, Pennsylvania, USA - FEB 11, 2012
Bottle. Pours translucent copper with a small white head. Smells of incredible sweetness.. dried fruits.. maybe some minor apricot. Taste is sweet.. some cherries and raisins are present. There is some alcohol on the finish. Overall, pretty good but could use a little more balance to keep the sweetness in check.

watson1977 (949) - The dub c, Pennsylvania, USA - FEB 7, 2012
Pours deep ruby/brown with a thin tan head...decent lacing. Aroma is very boozy with loads of dark fruit...sherry. flavor is malty with hints of chocolate and fig...nice bitterness to cut the sweetness in the aroma...significant dark fruit. Mouthfeel is full and silky with a warming finish reminiscent of chocolate cherries.

Dark Copper to Ruby with a small off white head that leaves a light but noticeable lacing. Smells of malt, dark fruits, and light alcohol. Tastes of caramel, oak, subtle prune, light fruit hop finish, and alcohol. Goes down easy, could get myself in trouble with this one. Thanks Pete!

JB84 (636) - Kitchener, Ontario, CANADA - FEB 4, 2012
Pour copper orange with off white head. Aroma of dried fruit nectar, caramel, toffee, dark fruits, slight tropical smell, cherry. Taste caramel, ripe fruits, fig, brown sugar, dark fruits, warming booziness. MF full sticky body with fine light carb. Solid brew good example of the style little sweet for my liking but still good.

Camons (1501) - Hasselager, DENMARK - FEB 2, 2012
Bottle @ Home. Pours dark amber with a small offwhite head. Aroma of malt, caramel, brown sugar, oak, dark fruit. Taste is bready malt, caramel, marzipan, plums, figs, booze. Medium to full body, quite high carbonation for the style / ABV, slight alcoholic finish. Decent, but rather sweet BW. 020212
