341ml bottle <br> 7.0% ABV <br> Milton LCBO Outlet #1 (Milton, Ontario, Canada) <br> October 13, 2013 <br> This is an ugly looking beer. Looks like an unfiltered dark apple cider. It pours a very hazed golden-brown with no head. The aroma is yeast, apples (maybe the cider comment isn't off the mark) and some grains. I don't get any of the funk associated with Biere de Gardes. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour has the funk I was missing in the aroma, with yeasty notes, and hints of apple.

1521 Mill Street Barley Wine Canada English Barleywine 2.7

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 4

473ml can 11.0&#37; ABV &#60;br&#62; Canned On: August 6, 2019&#60;br&#62; LCBO Outlet # 007 &#40;Toronto, Ontario, Canada - Eglinton &#47; Mt. Pleasant&#41;&#60;br&#62; October 4, 2019&#60;br&#62; &#36;6.95&#60;br&#62; The beer pours a translucent light rust colour with a thin tan coloured film for a head. The aroma is alcohol, honey, alcohol, yeast, more alcohol, some light grains, and even more alcohol. The switch from 10&#37; to 11&#37; isn’t going well in my opinion. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with below average carbonation. The flavour is all alcohol, with some hints of dark fruit sweetness. This takes me back to the first couple of barleywines I had, since then they’ve only gotten better but this will scare me off the style for a while.

355ml bottle <br> 7.0% ABV <br> Milton LCBO Outlet #1 (Milton, Ontario, Canada) <br> July 5, 2014 <br> The beer pours a slightly hazed golden-red colour with a creamy light tan coloured head that lasts. The aroma is tart cherries, yeast, grains, and light spicy notes. Mouthefeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is a bit too cherry cough syrup for me, with hints of grains. Not worth trying again.
