Weyerbacher Blithering Idiot

Deep brown, rapidly diminishing tan head. Malt and fruit everywhere, yet fairly dry and vinous. Also some chocolatey bitterness. Outstanding stuff.

Another hit for Weyerbacher. I like this one a bit more than Victory's Old Horizontal brandywine ale. This one by comparison is a bit smoother, yet still has that kick in the back of the throat taste thanks to its high ABV. Tasty through and through, and not too heavy, either.

Poured out a murky brown color. It had a decent head for about 5 minutes, then it faded to a ring of creamy bubbles around the rim of the glass. Aromas of dried fruit, macerated cherries, vanilla, toffee, caramel (big time), somewhat bready as well. Tastes great, with a beefy malt backbone right up front, with that sweet caramel middle to it, and a slightly sweet finish to it. Coats the tongue well, like a caramel syrup. Lingering, sweet aftertaste as well. A great Barleywine in my book. Hides it's alcohol very well.

At first pour, this beer is quite unassuming. You are soon in for a treat! The beer appears deep red with a nice creamy head. Aroma is a quite strong and malty. Flavor is exemplary of the barley wine style being warmly strong, maltly, and alcoholic. Finishes sweetly. Name says it all!

caramely sweert after the initial malty aroma, dark reddish brown color, with light head. medium sweetness, soft carbonation, thick feel, full body,
