adamjackson\u00a0(732)<\/a>\u00a0– Canaan, New Hampshire, USA – OCT 2, 2012<\/small><\/p>\n

Acquired at Hunger Mountain Co-Op in March. I believe this was priced at about $30. Enjoyed at Cellar temp in a snifter.A – 2-finger slight tan head was produced but faded almost instantly. Very solid alcohol legs on the glass. Sort of a dark brown, hint of amber and plum appearance.S – Hint of sweetness and minor maltiness on the nose. It\u2019s a very unsuprisingly unsweet scent for a barleywine. Then again, this is an aged beer so perhaps this isn\u2019t too surprising. Smokey oak and Bourbon and present but very smooth and not over boozy. The nose overall has a great balance.<\/p>\n

T – This is incredibly hard to describe. First, I get some dark fruits like figs and cherries. Followed by a minor sweetness and hint of delicate vanilla bourbon whiskey. The sweetness is a mix of simple syrup and brown sugar. I love that there\u2019s this caramel and candy like taste at the finish.<\/p>\n

M – This coats the tongue and numbs it. It\u2019s a mouth numbing beer that has a sort of orajel like feeling when it numbs things. Very heavy body, slick oily texture and vanilla sweetness finish.<\/p>\n

O – This may be one of the finest barley wines I\u2019ve ever had. It\u2019s incredible and exceptional in so many ways. It\u2019s hard to not give this beer a 5.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
