4.0 12oz bottle from Bottlecraft San Diego. Pours a murky, muddy brown with a tan ring. Huge aroma with hints of sourness and strong, dark, sweet, malt. Massive flavor with syrup, light fruitiness and loads of dark malt. Just a hint of bitterness for balance. The finish almost reminds me of strong, sweet, black tea. This is a massive beer but it avoids being too much. Of course it better be good since it cost $26!

4.4 Thanks to Matt for this awesome brew! Ok, là je suis face à un Barley Wine qui me jette par terre. J’ai beau avoir un penchant pour le style, là il faut savoir ouvrir les yeux et reconnaître que je suis ailleurs. Non pas que ce soit le ’meilleure’ Barley Wine qui soit, il est simplement franchement déroutant. Le fruit est titanesque dans cette bière à la robe rouge et sans mousse. Bon, au look c’est loin d’être attirant: aucune mousse pour camoufler les grumaux qui baignent en surface, robe boueuse à l’aspect stagnant. La cerise vole la vedette à la pêche. Un sucre céréalier important atténue les ardeurs de ces fruits déchaînés. Est-ce trop de fruits? Pas du tout. Texture sirupeuse et riche à souhait. Le liquide me coule lourdement dans la bouche en réchauffant mon oesophage de son alcool doux et boisé. Superior!

3.8 355ml bottle - Overpriced Beer Tasting 2016 - thanks martjoobolut! (7:4:8:4:15=3.8) Oh, this is a beautiful sipper. Sweet and malty, plenty of raisins. Even more raisins in the taste than the aroma. Full smooth palate, so mellow. Finish malty, raisiny, and woody. Damn, this is good. Rerate: 355ml bottle (Tasting@Tide’s) (7:4:7:3:14=3.5) Sweet malty aroma, some wood, some prunes. Flattish palate. Some mango in the taste, fruity, raisins. Good barley wine, but a bit sugary. Alcohol not well hidden, alas.
