Ridge Runner
Poured at room temp into a tulip glass, it pours a mahogony body with ruby tints. A fizzy tan head foams to the top, and due to a slightly agressive pour, it starts to foam over the glass just a bit. Just a bit of light peering through the body. A lot of chocolate malt on the nose as well as some vanilla and oak. Alcohol phenols hit my sinuses as well. Pretty standard. A bit watery for a barley wine, with just a bit of bitter bakers' chocolate on the sip. A bit of alcohol touches my palate as well, but qutie watery for a barleywine. Easily drinkable for the style, but could be crafted a bit better in my mind.
