We doubt there is any style of beer where there exists a larger thought divide between consumers and brewers than the English barley wine. Although it is a style that has been around for half a millennium, the style has grown darker and stronger so dramatically over the past few years that today's most popular examples are no longer recognizable to brewers, historians, or purists. We simply could not bring ourselves to call this rich sipping beer a barley wine without a caveat - hence the name - but it is everything the style has recently come to embody and then some. Rich, thick, and dark brown with huge notes of toffee, caramel, and fudge, this beer might be best described as a stout without any roasted character.

Pint can pours with a mahogany colored body that supports a thin tan head of foam. The aroma offers up molasses, black strap molasses and then brown sugar dusted prunes. The taste delivers similar notes of sweet molasses, a spicy black strap molasses sensation and then more molasses drizzled over prunes. It rides into the finish rather effortlessly with lingering sweet maltiness hanging around for a while. Solid sipper.
