Review – New Glarus Unplugged Iced Barley Wine

Submitted by Dan on May 4, 2009 – 10:34 am No Comment

New Glarus UnpluggedFrom New Glarus BrewingEnglish aristocracy flaunted their wealth saving barley wines for exclusive friends. Our Iced Barley Wine is an intense brew of 28.5 degrees Plato OG. Frozen in the cellars over a powerful twelve week fermentation. You hold an elegant riot of bittersweet sherry and dark fruit earthy notes. Warm and expansive it will fill your senses. Great for contemplative sipping now or lay down for an elegant occasion with friends.

New Glarus Brewing – Unplugged Iced Barley Wine – 12 oz. bottle poured into a goblet. 13.5% abv. From Robert in Wisconsin.

Appearance: Pours a dark auburn with almost no head.

Aroma: Sweet aromas of toffee, booze, dark fruits, caramel, and peaches.

Taste: Sweet flavors of caramel, chocolate, spiced apples, dried apricots, bitter hops, and a touch of booze.

Mouthfeel: Slightly sticky.

Overall: A wonderful barleywine that straddles between traditional and west coast.
