Now we're talking! I picked up this one at Martin Wine Cellar a few days back when I went hunting for the BrewDog Tokyo*. This 10.2% abv dark barleywine is a boozy malt-bomb of delicious beer. Definitely heavy on the toffee and caramel malt flavors, but yet again, Sierra Nevada nails it with their 30th Anniversary series. I've tried 3 of the 4 30th Anniversary beers so far, and all were superb, as most of Sierra Nevada's beers tend to be.

Barleywine
Where did you get this one?
ReplyDeleteYou should start stating that in your blog post!
That's a good point. I do need to start doing that. I usually mention it on the 365 in 2011 page, but these Super Bowl posts were done quick on the phone so I didn't fully update.
ReplyDeleteThis one was also at Martin Wine Cellar, picked it up when I went to get that Tokyo* Imperial Stout. I think there was only one left too.
I found one of these at the Beverage Store on Florida Blvd. Actually, they had several, i picked up two. But, when I got home i realized I picked up a bock and not the barleywine. Haven't tried it yet, but can't wait.
ReplyDeleteAlso, a good one to try,

It's not as black as it looks and has a nice chocolaty flavor.
Hmmm, I've never been by that Beverage Store place. If they have some Sierra Nevada 30th Ann. beers they must have a decent selection though.
ReplyDeleteThe bock is the only one I haven't tried... guess I have an errand to run. Thanks for the tips!
