Old Ruffian Barley Wine
One of my favorite barleywines. Pours a dark reddish amber. Big white head that laces the glass. Fantastic smell: grapefruit, sweet caramel malt, and some tropical notes. Taste is phenomenal. Deliciously sweet caramel, hoppy grapefruit with a bit of pine, and some sweeter citrus in there as well. It has some raw-boned alcohol bite that is welcome and well integrated. Not to be missed.
