Dogfish Head Olde School Barley Wine.


First impressions: really floral, fruity bouquet. Feels very heavy in hand. As dense as American Honey. For being 15%ABV, I can't taste the alcohol. Sticks a bit much on the palate.

High-powered extremes like this tend to be somewhat one-dimensional (Hop Wallop, Hoptical Illusion, etc) and this is no different. In the end, I like it but only because it packs a punch.
