Brothers In Barleywine
Brothership Brewing

Picked up a 16.9 oz bottle at the Riverlands brewery (this is a collab, apparently) back in March and finally cracked it open last night. Into my Forager snifter, pours an ink-black with a hint of mahogany at the edges when held up to the light. Nose is pungent but not all that layered: some wood (barrel?), molasses, slightly sour marshmallow. Taste follows the nose…fairly sweet (without any sour) and big and deep flavors, with no heat whatsoever. Mouthful: low carb, wet and smooth, sits in the tongue. The abv makes this a monster, and it definitely packs some big and deep flavor, though it is a little sweet for my tastes, and it strikes me as fairly one-note, for the style. Still, very glad to have the chance to enjoy it.
