August 8, 2005 - #30 of 365
Brewer: Mendocino Brewing Company (New York, USA)
Beer: Talon
Style: Barley Wine
abv: 10.5%
Background: Bomber from the store.
Appearance: Lovely amber-red with a larger-than-expected ecru head and nice lacing.
Aroma: Big malty aroma with raisiny notes and hints of gaminess and oak. A tad floral, as well.
Flavor: All malt from the beginning to the swallow. Only in the aftertaste do the hops come through, and then in the form of a drying bitterness that is quite subdued, but pleasant. Alcohol is not overpowering.
Notes: Not bad, if a bit watery for the style.
Rating: 3.6 out of 5
