4/15/18 - On tap at the brewery. Served in a globe chalice. Dark orange with little head and no lacing. Sweet aftertaste with more malt than hops taste. A nice, but not overwhelming barley wine “style” ale. Get some.

Tasted on tap in a tulip glass at Big Hops in San Antonio, TX.

A - Deep brown color with some red highlights. When held up to light it shows through in gold. Clear. Thin, off-white head but very impressive lacing.

S - Rich malt aromas. Brown sugar, plums, raisins. Earthy hops in background. Aromas are all somewhat muted.

T - Flavors are similar to aromas. Rich graham cracker; some molasses but no roasted flavors. Figs, prunes. Rum-like alcohol. Fairly sweet finish.

M - Thick body. Low but slightly creamy carbonation. Some alcohol burn. Mouthfeel is all appropriate for the flavors and aromas, which make me think of an English Barley Wine.

O - A very nice beer. I'd call it an English Barley Wine based on the flavors and aromas, but it is listed here as something else. I wonder if the recipe varies? Hits all the right notes for a malt-lover like me. My only wish is that the aromas "popped" a bit more.
