Waxing Gnarly

Widmer Galaxy-Hopped Barleywine
Burly, bitter flavors envelope the roof of the palate with a thick cloud of pie spice aromas and a sandy mouthfeel, mirrored in its smoky topaz color. Notes of burnt-to-the-crisp bacon, with marjoram and torched citrus peel rising on on the extra-long finish. Cellar for a couple of years to let settle and then serve as the A1 sauce condiment with a well-marbled steak, appetizer of truffled deviled eggs, or after-meal milk chocolate or triple-crème Camembert.
