Year of New Beer: Saturn, Bell's Brewery (MI)

Written By: Dion on 06/09/2015

Initially, this beer did not smell good at all. Something harsh, almost vegetal going on. Thankfully, with warmth, the more expected caramel, brown sugar, and dark fruit notes begin to arrive in the aroma. On the tongue is a slightly aggressive alcohol burn that is tempered by the layers of toffee, raisins, apples, and honey. Not the most refined barleywine for sure, but acceptable. Would like to try this again about six months or a year from now.
