this was an experiment, having in my mind (abstractly, since i know nothing of its making) pyramids anniversary ale, a barley wine lighter (deep amber) than most BWs. this may be a little lightweight for BWs, but it packs a kick, the hops balance out nicely, and theirs a side sweet edge reminiscent of some belgian triples ive had. will be cooking another batch, upping the hops a bit, and getting the malt a little lighter in color.
