Olde School Barleywine

16 Jan

Name - Dogfish Head Olde School Barleywine
Country - United States
Type - American Barley Wine

Appearance - Poured a reddish copper color with really no head at all.

Smell - Sweet smell of grapefruit and slight smell of alcohol that stung the nostrils a bit.

Taste - Lots of sweet malts.  The feel is very syrupy and you get hints of molasses in there.  There is a little alcohol bit near the end.

This is only my second barley wine that I have sampled so I feel I don’t know a whole lot about these.  This one was a lot heavier than the last one I had but the alcohol taste was covered up a little better.  I would put this just slightly higher than the last one I had.

Overall Grade – B
