Grand Lake Super Chicken Barley Wine

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

12oz bottle. Pours a brownish tea color with a small creamy white head that quickly goes to a thin film that leaves some lacing.

The aroma is nutty caramel malts and some cola and fruity hops with a little chocolate and alcohol.

The flavor is sweet nutty chocolate malts, molasses and a touch of fruits followed by a good sized bitterness in the finish that has some alcohol but doesn't feel like 11%. The mouthfeel is pretty full bodied with low but smooth carbonation.

Overall, a nice barley wine. It has a lot going on and has some nice aspects. It just doesn't stand out for me and it doesn't all seem to mesh well together.

I liked this one. Smells of sugar and malt on the nose. Appears light brown with no head at all. Little carbonation but finish is nice with a close to full body mouthfeel. Flavor is spicy with raisins and plum notes.

Pours with a dark brown-red body topped by a thin head with little lacing. It’s sweet and malty yet hoppy with a slight grapefruit note and a touch of alcohol. Full bodied, warming and smooth.
