Review – Stone Old Guardian Barleywine 2007
Stone Brewing Co. – Old Guardian Barley Wine, Vintage 2007. – Growler from Stone Winter Storm 2009, poured into Old Guardian Specialty Beer Glass. – 11.6 abv.
Appearance: Dark peach with a nice 1 inch head. Cloudy, but letting light through.
Aroma: Light citrus, apricot and brown sugar.
Brewing something people should know about?
Since 2007, The Full Pint has been where craft beer fans get their news. Breweries and beer brands can reach them too.
Taste: Bitter hops, caramel, dried apricot and mango. Very spicy.
Mouthfeel: Thick but not syrupy. Carbonated perfectly.
Overall: Lovliness! A dank Imperial IPA or Barleywine. Perfect level of hops still exists, but the other flavors have come through nicely.
Bonus: Here is the glass I sampled this out of.
