On-tap at Beachwood BBQ, 2008 Vintage,

A: Pours a dark red with a mild white head, spotty lace.

S: Classic aged crystal malt nose with a lot of piney hops.

T: Dark caramel/crystal malt, mild notes of chocolate. Still heavily hoppy, definitely a barleywine.

M: Full-bodied, nice ethanol warmth, smooth.

D: An impressive barleywine, though to me it is much more in the American style.

Sampled at Toronado 2009 Barleywine Festival.
Pours deep clear copper with tan head and spotty lacing. The aroma consists of figs, fruit cake, saffron, a hint of ginger and a background of sweet malts. The taste is much the same with rich malty sweetness mixing with the odd winter spice mix. Interesting. The dark fruity esters rise up midway with raisins, cherries and plums. The raisins approach having a peppery sensation at the finish. Nice stuff.
