Notes from December, 2017:
Block Heater Barley-wine. 11.1% ABV. 85 IBU. Minneapolis, MN.
Burgundy-hued, slim off-white head.
In the nose: rich and malty, sweet and slightly fruity, dark ones, stone ones, fig and raisin and ripe grapes and berries. Nice.
In the mouth: Tasty, tasty, tasty. Some bitterness boards the palate, then hangs out in the back while malt, fruit, and rich caramel tones take over. A very approachable barleywine. Clean, while rich and deeply rewarding. Good for a cold night like this one.

(Re-review 4/16/18, original score 4.5)
Look: brown, small head, not much lacing. Aroma: molasses, toffee, hints of milk chocolate. Taste: caramel and molasses. It's very rich. The alchohol is very well integrated. Finish: remarkably brief for the style, but it somehow works. Mouthfeel: full bodied, sticky without being cloying. Comments: this is really good. It's more of an English tale on the style with no real hop interference, and that is something I like.
