You want to know what a barleywine is *supposed* to taste like? Track down the I am drinking Green Flashing Brewing Co. Barleywine Style Ale. It’s deadline-solid perfect.
It’s 10.9 percent, but does not taste like it has that much alcohol. Malty and full or caramel, but a very balanced taste. This is an excellent standard to judge other barleywines again.
It further confirms my impression of Green Flash as one of the most underrated breweries around. It’s as perfect as the Imperial IPA, which I loved.
