LongShot Mile High Barley Wine Ale
Pours an effervescent orange/caramel with 3+ fingers of tan colored head. Average head retention & lacing S: Pineyness, leafy & herbal hops, plus figgyness as this warmed T: Piiney hops, toffee, a touch of caramel up front, plus some pineapple & grapefruit. Slight figgy sweetness accompanies herbal & piney hops as this warms, plus a touch of toffee & some boozey warmth as well. Finishes dry with a touch of honey, toffee & leafy hops, this seemed as much an English BW as American. Any way you slice it this didn't quite pull together for me MF: Chewy, fairly low carbonation, balance- wise this skews a bit sweet for an American Barley Wine IMO Drinks alright for the style & ABV, doesn't quit pull together to me. I might grab another sixer to see if this ages well
