Young's Old Nick Barley Wine Ale from Young & Co's Brewery PLC
Rating: B
Appearance: garnet in color, small head with little retention and little lacing.Not much in the way of head is expected for the style, though, so good marks.
Smell: Raisin and caramel aroma, with a hint of alcohol in the background.
Taste: semi-sweet, raisins, caramel malts, licorice and bitter hops with a fig finish. Some alcohol present, as well. Finishes dry, which I like.
Mouthfeel: medium body. good carbonation for the style.
Drinkability: not my favorite barleywine, but not bad. it took me longer than I'd anticipated to get through the bottle.
Serving type: bottle
