Olde Deuteronomy
This is an 2009 dated bottle received in a trade with wordemupg. The label is great. G: Pint Glass A: Dark copper body allowing light to escape around the edges. One finger of head that dissipated into a thin ring. Moderate lacing. S: I could smell sweet malts as soon as I pried the bottle open. Brown sugar, toffee, caramel mixture with some fruitiness. T: Caramel, dark & sweet fruits, hint of apple and spices M: Medium-thick bodied with medium carbonation. At first it feel smooth and creamy, but soon after the alcohol hit and leaves a slight burn. Caramel and alcohol linger in the throat. D: Second barleywine I've tried and tastes so different. It's a fantastic brew with unique characteristics.
