Bootleggers Brewery – Bootleggers Galaxian Barleywine – 22 oz.bottle poured into a goblet. 10% abv.

Appearance:  Pours a dark amber with no head and just a few swirls appear when looking down.

Aroma: Fruity notes(cherry, apple grape), Turbinado sugar, and a little alcohol.

Taste: Caramel, burnt sugar, dates, dried mango. Bitter hops. Very tropical like Knuckle Sandwich!

Mouthfeel: Full bodied. From growler, so the carbonation was a little on the high side. It mellowed out when I let me glass warm up.

Overall:  A really tasty west coast barleywine. I would only consider drinking this fresh personally.  It’s very close to the highly acclaimed Knuckle Sandwich, so if you like that, you will love this.
