beer_name: Unplugged Iced Barleywine
text: 12oz bottle obtained in the No BS 4 BIF via dirtylou. Thanks for the opportunity. Poured into an imperial pint glass, formed a 1/8" tan head over the clear burnished copper brew. Head is, as expected for the style, gone in a flash, with lots of legs but not much lacing. Aroma is lightly of leather and strongly of alcohol. Taste follows the nose to start, goes sweet in the middle, and then the alcohol comes on strong. Some fruitiness present, but really all about the booze here. Mouthfeel is a little harsh, and drinkability is kind of limited, this is really a sipper. But thank god it's no Beast.
