The tasting was fun, looks like to no surprise that Doggie Claws 2007 was everyones favorite. The hops had integrated nicely underneath layers and layers of dark sugar complexity. Decadence was interesting in how it was alittle sour, but not too much; just enough to lend itself to some intense plumy like dark fruit notes. Other notable barleywines included the cellar-needing Arctic Devil and the ready to drink Mirror Mirror.
Also attended the Captain Lawrence Cuvee de Castleton release yesterday. My first release at NY's award winning brewery. The tasting table was quite impressive and left me shameful of not bringing a glass or anything to taste. There was alittle bit of a scare that they might run out of a beer that they only produced 1,704 bottles of, but thankfully I got my six bottle limit. Some quality brews to consume, cellar and trade with.
