Blue Point - Old Howling Bastard

Barleywine

Part of a sampler at Rattle n' Hum.

A: Clear amber. Not much head - could be due to pour.

S: Spice front with a nice hop component. HUGE malt - spicy sweetness!

T: Just like smell - sweet and spicy - sugar lips with a nice hop addition.

M: Decent carbonation - spiced hop aftertaste is great.

D: Very good barleywine - the sugar makes it all worthwhile.
