Emelisse Barley Wine


This is my first ever barley wine I think. It's an English traditional strong ale - barley wine I mean. This particular one is Dutch. Beer looks like a bit amberish dirt water and leaves very little head or basically none. Smell is like of some wine...odd sweet wine. Taste is quite odd at first. It has bitterness, sweetness, alcohol and some odd and non-describable spices. Not my cup of tea, for sure.

This is not a "drinking beer"...I may have to wait for a while and have this with my late saturday supper...well, after waiting for a quarter of an hour and having the rest of this barley wine, I started to get used with the stuff, but still, it's too odd to be enjoyment for me and might work better for someone else...

** Drinkable
