Flying Mouflan
Tröegs Brewing Company

 

Clear plum-hued dark brown with a finger-and-a-half of light khaki head. Good retention and thick sheets of lacing. Restrained aroma with caramel and grapefruit most prevalent. Great mix of flavors in the taste. Lightly bitter with citrus, apricot, toffee, hints of fruity hipster blonde coffee and a touch of alcohol. Full, soft, chewy mouthfeel with just enough carbonation to keep things lively. Excellent brew.

 

 

 

 

Well worth the visit to Troegs.

 

Yumz!
My favorite Tröegs beer.
It is a big beer but oh so good.

First barleywine, not sure what to expect. It lands somewhere between an IPa and a sour. Great amber color, heavy barley and gras smell, very fresh. Somewhat carbonated

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sweet

The appearance was a nice golden amber to brown tobacco color with a decent half finger foamy white head that once it starts to die, there is a decent amount of adequate stringy lacing sticking finely to the sides of the glass. The smell was definitely of the English persuasion of sorts of a Barleywine as the typical "tobacco" smell and maltiness came out here. The taste was caramel malts with a nice coating of the tobacco coming through as well. On the palate, it sat about a medium to heavy with a decent boozy edge to it. The alcohol is well noted and I know that was not from the tryptophan from the turkey we had that night. Overall, pretty nice English barleywine worthy of coming back to.
