Solid English style barleywine but I’ll
Be honest here, the packaging and price led me to expect more. It’s a beautiful bottle (8oz) and looks great in the glass, just the right hue and appealingly murky. The feel of the beer is quite good as well, a little sticky but still lively with fine carbonation and a long finish. However we fall short on aroma, which is modest and mostly undistinguished, and flavor, which is nice but lacks depth and profundity. That might seem like asking a lot but if you’re pricing an 8oz non-barrel aged beer at over ten dollars and gussying up the package with fancy verbiage one could expect more - something truly memorable. Medium sweetness here with a mostly dry finish, vinous qualities and dark fruit notes more predominant than toffee and brown sugar; a bit of bittering hops linger after the swallow. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed this quite a bit, but had higher hopes. Glad I got to try it.
