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.

Pours dark into the glass with small head. Aroma is heavy with fruit and vanilla. Smooth on the palate just the way I like it. This will keep you warm when your cold. Highly enjoyed it and I felt it after I knocked off the bottle. It’s 11%! Just the way I like them.

Murky amber color with a khaki colored head that shrank to a thin layer of bubbles pretty quickly. Nose of caramels, ripe pit fruit and alcohol. Lots of melted caramel in the flavor, with rum soaked peaches, candied grapefruit, and good home made bread. This improves as it warms, but the alcohol becomes more prevelent. Nice barley wine.

Tasting at PP Cbad, thanks to wetherel! Dense bright orange/amber hue, minimal head. Nose is caramel malts, molasses, light fruits, grass, booze. Taste is light caramel malts, rich sweet fruits, light grassy hops, finishes sweet and boozey. Thick texture with moderate carbonation. A nicely balanced barleywine that is a bid lacking in flavor for the style.

Like most Weyerbachers I’ve had, simple, straightforward, and overbearing. Malty and sweet, this is alcoholic to the point of medicine like their Raspberry IS, and worse, quite watery. Not very impressive.

Dark cloudy brown pour with a creamy head. Toffee, caramel, and molasses on the nose. Caramel malts and slightly hoppy. I bit too sweet and hot for my tastes
