22oz bottle from Bullock's (Woodstock, GA). 12.99. No apparent bottling date but this is a fairly recent release. Served in a Barrel and Barely teku.
Pours a deep, clear burgundy with about three and a half fingers of manilla froth. A few chains of lace are left behind by the broad collar that reaches towards the lingering central island of retention.
Smells of sweet cereal grains, caramel, earthy hops and some cherry like fruit.
Flavors combine grainy cereal malts, pitted fruit skins, cooked caramel, a slight floral bitterness, faint brown sugar and an undeniable kick of booze.
Thick, almost syrupy feel with rather subdued carbonation. Grainy malt, fruit skins and caramel play on the palate in the aftertaste.
While initially seeming neither malty nor hoppy enough for my typical preferences in barleywines, The Judge grew on me as I allowed it to reach room temperature. Once again Jailhouse has allowed the subtleties to speak for themselves rather than beat you into submission with heavy handed hopping, super high gravity or adjuncts.
