Yet another barley wine. How much is this one going to hurt? Let's see...
This was a very fine looking IPA. It was decently translucent with a nice golden hue - it almost looked like white wine. It also had a decently nice head as well but it fell quickly. It had a very nice scent and hops - oh, and alcohol. There was also a small bit of sweetness and a bouquet of flowers. At first taste, it actually reminded me quite a bit of white wine but with a little bit more bite from the alcohol. There was also a nice spice from the barley but also a hint of sweetness - strange for a beer this strong. The texture was very nice for this beer as well. It was very smooth and the flow reminded me of a spirit after the initial taste. The flow was very nice and all of this counteracts with the kick in the ass it gives you at the end.
Overall, this is probably one of the finest high-alcohol brews I've had. I wouldn't mind ever having this and I wouldn't think twice about it. It has a great taste and texture and the kick from the alcohol makes it much more interesting.
