Oxidized orange souring and spoiled vegetal astringency cut through repulsive glutinous wheat dankness of unbalanced medium body. Nasty sorghum aroma, rotted lemon encumbrance, and peanut shell dalliance don’t help matters.
Weak barleywine-styled celebrator needs better dimension, resonance, warmth, and bourbon-burgundy boozing to compete favorably in exulted class. Tangy cherry, quince, apricot, and pear murk overlays brown chocolate malting, but red-fruited nature dries up prematurely.

Strong dark Polish porter aids sweet barleywine lead-in with favorable oncoming brown chocolate creaminess and thick maple syrup richness for truly original full-bodied peculiarity.
