Session #12 announced: Barleywine
The Session is a monthly one-day event held by beer bloggers around the world, where they each post their thoughts on a unified theme.
That theme, for February, is “Barleywine”, hosted by Jon at The Brew Site.
Whether you spell it “barley wine” (conventional) or “barleywine” (my preference), this is definitely the season for it. It’s a style with a wide range of interpretations and possibilities, so I want to leave this Session open for the same: whether it’s a tasting review, or a food pairing, or an experience, or a (homebrew) recipe—it’s wide open, and I can’t wait to see what people come up with.
This episode of the Session will take place on February 1, 2008. Details here: Announcing the Session #12: Barleywine and Session #12 post-announcement

Posted in Beer, Reviews | 3 comments
I have taken a few timid steps toward cellaring some of my beer. Last January I had some Brooklyn Monster Ale and very specifically put aside a bottle to have…oh, about now. It’s been an awful temptation to see it back for just about all of 2009. This is a bottle from 2008.
Very pretty caramel [...]

By far the biggest dog in the yard… Horn Dog Barley Wine is a dark and malty English-style Barely Wine that is aged for a minimum of three months before being packaged. Like a fine wine, this beer will only get better with age when stored at optimum conditions.
According to the label, this is [...]

I’ve never seen this before, in spite of it being fairly local to me. “Premium Ale Brewed with Honey” exclaims the label, as well as 10.5% ABV. Yikes!
Dark honey colored, with a thick, off-white head. Some vanilla in the aroma, along with grassiness from the hops. Not sweet. Some alcohol heat, but not as [...]

Beer-a-Day #5
Barley Wine week continues.
I don’t recall having this one before, which is surprising considering Victory beers are readily available around here and the name is a hoot.
Medium-dark brown with red highlights. Finger’s width worth of head. Spiced plum in the aroma. Pleasantly bitter without overt sweetness and a rather thick body.

I guess it’s Barley Wine week.
I’ve never had this before, in spite of being a big Brooklyn Brewery fan.
Nice medium-brown color with some slight red highlights. Off-white head that settles into about an eighth of an inch of foam. Bready with a bit of floral spice. Flavor is biscuity and a little harsh, though [...]

Beer-a-Day #2
Two days in and I’m already breaking my rule of not writing about something I’ve written about before. However, this is the first beer that I’ve tried cellaring. This is the 2007 “vintage” of Heavy Seas Below Decks. I had the first one last December when it was fresh. Then I wrote about it [...]

Session #17 – Going Against the Grain Bill: Solstice Edition
The subject for July’s Session could be summed up thusly: Drinking anti-seasonally. Think of this as the unorthodox cousin of such topics as “beer and food” and “beer and music”. Beer and weather, perhaps? More like [...]
