12 oz bottle, 2006 vintage.

I’ve been drinking this for a few months now, finally got around to reviewing it.

Interesting beer. Has the taste (and aroma) of an English Barleywine up front (malty, sweet and fruity), but then finishes with a little alcohol kick and that telltale American Barleywine hop bitterness. The finish is sufficiently restrained to keep this in the English category, but it is a little more astringent than the typical, English version.

Highly drinkable considering the style and the ABV, and it marries two ends of the same style spectrum rather nicely. Good value too, I think I paid around $6.99 for a four pack.
