This past friday I tasted my first barleywine. I figured it'd be a good idea to try what I only thought I wanted to brew. The particular one I tried was called "blithering idiot"
after the first sip which tasted to me like bourbon mixed with ale i realized how right everyone who recomends this as a sipping drink to be enjoyed over the course of an evening.
During the course of the one bottle i grew to appreciate the taste although it took me near 2 hours to complete. I've decided this is not a brew that I would have regularly nor is it something that i will be brewing any time soon.
I've put the remaining 5 bottles in the wine cellar and will open one every now and then.
would anyone have a barleywine that they could recomend?
