3.87/5  rDev -7%
look: 4.25 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.75
Appearance: Arrives slightly hazy and amber colored, with a solid head; decent retention and a few shards of lacing

Smell: Caramel, bread; pith and onion

Taste: Hints of bread and caramel out the outset but then the beer moves into a bitter territory, with a strong pithy character that overwhelms the palate and lingers into the finish; verges on oniony bitterness

Mouthfeel: Full bodied with moderate carbonation

Overall: Rather unbalanced and not what I seek out in a barleywine; the malt base recedes too far into the background

Had this beer on draft at the brewery. A blonde barleywine. It's a one time brew; a collaboration with CARBOY, the local homebrew club. Nice malt forward aroma with some graininess. Color matches the style of a blonde barleywine. Flavor is complex, with a candy-like aspect coming through and the hops balancing nicely. Chewy mouthfeel. A very enjoyable and interesting beer. Worth searching out if you can find it.
