In a 22 oz. Weizen glass.

A -- pours smooth and thick, a nice 1 finger head that soon fades to a bubbly layer. Good lacing. Dark Crystal with deep ruby brown red.

S -- Mildly sweet tropical fruit, moderately malty and a slight booziness.

T -- It is pretty raw which is to be expected since this is this year's offering. Interesting bold leather/dark fruit with a little charred wood flavor. Needs aging, I'm really looking forward to this in a year or two.

M -- Damn it! needs more. It's not at all thick as I would expect a barleywine to be.

D -- yup, just dandy

Dick's Barley Wine has a medium, cream-colored head and a translucent tan appearance, with some lacing. The aroma is of caramel and dates. The flavor is of brown bread crust, dates, and low bitterness. It has a high-medium body, with a slightly-chalky mouth-feel and a dry finish.

My good friend and old neighbor from the 'Wego gave me a bottle of this beer. The beer poured a clear amber with off white head that is not leaving much lace. The scent had subtle caramel malt notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink for a 9.9% abv beer. There was good malt base and crisp hop finish. The mouthfeel was medium in body with good carbonation. Overall it was a good beer.

Part of a four way blind tasting of barleywine.

Pours a dark copper color with minimal head and decent carbonation.

Smell is spicy, kind of like a winter warmer. Red fruit smell.

Taste is pretty fruity, and more hopped, but it was a pretty one-dimensional barley wine. Weakest of the four.
