LongShot Mile High Barley Wine Ale
2nd offering from the LongShot series that I'm trying. 12oz bottle poured into a goblet. Pours a dark sweet-tea-looking mahogany. A good-sized beige head rests on top. Disappears to just a thin sheet and ring around the edge. Some pretty sip rings lag behind. Scents of toffee, molasses, caramel, and some hop oils. The body is moderately thick, with a decent carbonation backing. Light bubbly play on the tongue. Some dark fruits noted in the flavor, like fig and raisins. Sweet toffee aftertaste. Bitterness is moderate. Slightly drying on the backend. This was pretty good. Not as bold and in-your-face as most American BWs, but good. I like this take.
