4.2/5
AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
2010 version 22 ounce bottle. Pours a nice red-orange color with a one finger tan head. Smells of some banana, orange, grapefruit, pine. Tastes are similar to smell, but with some sweetness with a good balance of bitterness from the citrus hops. Very nice finish, not too carbonated with a nice hint of alcohol, but not too overpowering. Nice lacing on the glass as well. This is my first barley wine style and I am quite impressed.
Stone is definitely one of my favorite breweries, not too much bad stuff coming from them. I need to find more barley wines because I do not have many of them reviewed.
