Old Ruffian Barley Wine
came across a couple of 22 oz. bottles for the first time yesterday. served in an Ommegang three philosophers chalice , slightly chilled. poured a nice darkish brown with a thick but short head. wonderful aroma of oak, hops, with a nice shot of alcohol. tasted of caramel with slight oak with a hoppy,and well hidden alcohol finish dispite the abv. this barley wine was surprisingly drinkable with no burn, and a very complex flavor.
