Barleywine #95 (one of my favourite beer styles. But unfortunately so hard to find, especially here in Finland) Best before 31.12.2023 Mahogany-coloured beer with a smooth, beige head. Light texture: 4,25/5 The nose is fruity, plums. Caramel sweetness, bready maltiness. Somewhat shallow: 3,5/5 Mouthfeel is full, with high bitterness, and some alcohol. Nice and leans much towards the American style than an English one: 4,25/5 The taste has plenty of malty/bready flavour in it. Also heavy dose of ripped fruits, grapefruit and plum. After is mild, a bit dry and lingering: 11/15 Otherwise a solid beer but for my liking, way too easy for a big Barleywine. Personally, I'm looking for more complex, slow-sipping beers. To me, this seems more like an American Strong Ale than a Barleywine. And indeed the beer has much more American character than English. Decent, tasty but easily forgettable: 14,5/20 =37,5/50

Med mindre spritsmak så hade den varit klart bättre men godkänd iaf.

Den var god, men finns bättre barley wine.

En kategori som jag inte är helt överens med, men den blev bättre och bättre.
