Took some extra trouble, but solved the exploding foam problem of previous batches, & produced a very fine barleywine. at 3 months old has a rich hop & barely aroma, strong hop bitterness (not sweet), good clear color, and estery 'warming characteristics." I drink what barleywines ar around here in Oregon, and this stacks up with the best.
