10-51: Stone, Old Guardian Barley Wine

Mission Statement

We started this blog because we are on a mission, a mission to seek out and taste as many beers as we can. I’m not talking about the Coors, and Buttwiper beers you may be accustomed to, I am talking about the rare beers you may have never heard of, the local micro-brew you were afraid to try, the beers from around the world you have never seen before. We want to go forth and taste these brews and give our honest opinion on them. Then, we want those who have also tasted them to leave comments agreeing or disagreeing with us. We want this to be a place where beer drinkers can go discus beer with other knowledgeable beer drinkers. If any of you have tried a beer or micro-brew we have not reviewed, please email us the name and a pic and we'll try it, then give our opinion. You will of course be given credit for "discovering" said beer on the post and we may use your opinion in our post either agreeing or disagreeing with you. Please, go forth and be adventurous. Try new beers and then write us so that we may share in the joy.

Stone, Old Guardian Barley Wine

Look: Light brown with a goldish coloring. Creamy and slightly cloudy

Taste: Strong, smooth, hop filled IPA flavor

Conclusion: The flavor of Stone's barley wine mirrors their double IPA Ruination. It is initially slightly bitter but extremely smooth on the palate. At 11.26% alcohol and with 95 IBUs(International Bitterness Units), this barley wine is incredibly powerful. But don't let the bitterness units fool you though, this barley wine is quite smooth. There is almost no alcohol burn and it coats the tongue. Rich and flavorful. As Mr. Burns says...."Eeeexcellent".

8 Brews!
