Criminally Bad Elf, imported from Ridgeway Brewery in Oxfordshire, UK. Sweet for a barleywine and malty in character and mouthfeel. No hop aroma of note; typical for the style. On the lower end of the spectrum in terms of alcohol content, making it very drinkable.
I enjoyed drinking this festive overseas offering, but then I love me some barleywine. I definitely recommend serving it in specialized glassware. Pictured is a Riedel crystal snifter, but if all you can afford is a used mayonnaise jar, prost!
80 Hops.
