Sipn'Herf
This is a very good Barleywine with deep malt complex topped
with a hop extravaganza. The balance of this Barleywine will
not be evident for at least 12 -18 months. As a youngster the
hop flavor and aroma rate is too high but will mellow nicely. I'm
putting away a box of full bodied cigars to age with this Barleywine
and thus complete the experience of this namesake beer.
