Southern Tier Backburner
(15/20) American Barleywine
Andy and Jim on Jul 21.09

Jim and I (Andy) had a whole night of rapid fire reviews drinking great beers. And here they are.backburner

Brewery Home: New York

Serving Style: Bomber into pint glasses

Beer Style: American Barleywine

Appearance: Copper/amber with ‘rustic’ white small head.

Aroma: Rich malty sweetness with alcohol hotness. Some fruity/apple/citrus highlights. Well balanced and hoppy in the backend.

Taste: Malty and sweet with the alcohol bite bleeding through. The malty-ness is nicely complex and the hops give a clean ending. For me (Andy), almost too ‘drinkable’ for a barleywine – more like barelywine!

ABV: 10%

Drink one or all?: One.

Cost: $8?

Overall: 15/20 Good.
