Blithering Idiot
Poured 12 oz bottle into a tulip. A- Pours a mixture of colors including mohagony, amber, maroon and light brown. Slight carbonation. Two fingers worth of of head appears quickly, but dissapears almost as quickly as it came to nothing. Barely any lace left anywhere. S- Smells of fruits, apricot comes to mind. You can smell the alcohol slightly but it's very well masked. T- Tastes like caramel, brown sugar and sweets. The fruity smell brings a berry taste. Towards the end you taste the malts and bready yeast. M- Very very smooth and creamy. Almost like chocolate milk. Has a doughy feel also. D- With the alcohol content this high, I have to ask where is it? I mean seriously where is it??? If you notice it wasn't included in my taste description. This beer tastes good and packs a punch that you don't see. Notes: My 2nd stab at barleywines and I gotta say I like them. I stand up after reviewing this and discover where the alcohol is.
