Olde Steamboat pays homage to the river paddlers that once ruled the Mighty Mississippi. Designed in England, and born during America's industrial age, steamboats were the workhorse of river commerce in the 18th century. European malts, English yeast and hops marry to craft a rich, complex matliness with notes of caramel, toffee, and dried fruit. By design this beer is drinkable now and over time will develop complex port like flavors. So pop the top or lay it down, either way, enjoy this Olde Steamboat!

This beer pours a darker amber color. The head is 1 finger, off white, frothy. Retention is good, and there's some nice lacing on the glass.
The nose is minimal when poured from the tap.
Taste. Malty up front. There's a bit of caramel in the flavor. Some fruit. On the backside there's a nice bitterness from the hops. There's also a slight burn from the alcohol.
Nice full body. Slight alcohol burn.
This is a decent barleywine. I bet it would age very well. I will be here for their bottle release on the 31st.
