Picked up during my turn playing 3B during the College World Series in Omaha since I love port, barleywines, & beer. And baseball. If I could get a job doing all those things at once, hmmmm.
The pour couldn’t be different than the black-stout-barleywine we had last night, more like muddy oak water with a touch of carbonation. The nose is weak: touch of sweetness & port. Makes sense.
Zipline Port Aged Barleywine tastes like…barleywine. Plenty of alcohol found here, along with a solid sweetness cut by aggressive hopping. Port? Perhaps a shadow in the sweetness, but disappointed that my favorite non-beer alcohol is essentially MIA. Vaguely fruity, very sweet, moderately hoppy, one could look in the dictionary under “average barleywine” & see this pictured. The bomber should be shared among 4-5 people to avoid it wearing out its welcome.
Not a bad beer, but a far cry from what I was hoping. A sliver above average.
