Pizza Port Bombshell Barleywine

Aroma: 10 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 10 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 9

Comes out of the tap a luscious, opaque, dark golden amber with a very thick and rather persistent light golden-tan head. Strong, malty aroma has fruity and caramel notes as well as a subtle woody undertone. Flavor has a woody core with fruity and malty notes and hints of caramel and horehound. Alcohol bite is strong but not too fierce. Firm-bodied texture is smooth yet edgy and leaves a strong and fairly persistent tingle. Finish has woody and fruity notes plus a respectable alcohol bite. Let this bombshell explode in your mouth! But please don’t get, ahem, bombed if you have to drive. ;)

This was smoked up the ass. Had a rich amber brown color to it and it gave a moderate amount of white head. Smells like an onslaught of alcohol and spices with some hops. Tastes respectably good. Great thick murky and malty with the smoothest finish of any barleywine i have had.

This barley wine pours with a deep amber body topped by a medium thick head with a good amount of lacing. The aromais sweet and malty with a nice grapefruity hop note and hints of caramel and a fruity note. The flavor is slightly sweet and malty laced with fruity hop notes, some caramel, a touch of alcohol and fruit. Full bodied, relatively smooth and slightly warming.
