Old Guardian Barleywine
Mmmmm Smells sweet and malty like beer flavored cotton candy. Just a nibble of hop aroma. Medium lacing on the glass. Smooth viscous malty sweet first taste, hops linger on the back of my pallet. This is a good barleywine, I'm still waiting for a great one to pop up again, but for the moment I'm happy. Not quite as hoppy as the Bigfoot which I had last night, but still has a little bite, definitely an American style barleywine. Next sip, the hops and malts are in harmony. The brewers symphony of malts, barley and hops is playing out in my glass, the day fades away and only the moment I'm in right now matters. Thankfully it comes in a 22oz bottle!
