Description:Medium amber in color, big herbal hop aroma and medium alcohol presence. Tastes of dried fruit, nutty, warming and alcoholic. Has a nice nutty piney hop finish. This barleywine has an aggressive bitterness and cloying sweetness when young, but mellows well with age. This version is from 2008, and has rounded out nicely with a smooth hop profile with mild bitterness, allowing the malt to stay in the background making for an elegant drink. 11.26% ABV
