Stone Old Guardian.


This is the 2009 release. Rich, thick, amber color. Slick mouthfeel, finishes a little sticky. Not as sweet as I like my barley wines but comes off a bit more bittersweet and kind of hoppy. Thin head, no lacing.

I don't know. I'm kind of disappointed. At 11.3%ABV, it's leaning towards the higher end. I guess that's cool? I probably wouldn't buy it again unless it were on sale.
