Seven Mules Kick Ass Ale
12oz bottle picked up as a single as soon as this brewery hit my local stores shelves. no freshness information on it. drank from a tulip glass. A- this one pours out a copperish colored body with a large bright white colored head on it. the head has poor retention and lacing. S- sweet bready and caramel malts are the first thing that i could smell. after that comes a large dose of booze. some summer fruits like apple, pear and lemon come through as well. faint floral and pine hops. T- the alcohol moves to the front in the taste. the sweet caramel and bready malts are also coming through pretty strong. the light summer fruits i could smell take a distant back seat here. a little bit of pine and floral hops at the end. M- medium to full bodied with a carbonation level a little above what im used to. D- decently cheap for the style/strength at 10$/sixer. not the best barleywine i have ever had. not by a long shot. probably wont pick this one up again.
