Brewed by Weyerbacher Brewing Co.
Style: Barley Wine

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!

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.

This name is great. Make me go tee hee. Pretty good aroma and taste. Above average barley wine.

This is not the best example of a barely wine ale. But it is a good value.
