More Barley Wines!
by F. Sot Fitzgerald Recently I had the pleasure attending one of the famed Split Thy Skull Festivals, wherein guests have the opportunity to taste a slew of barley wines. This Split Thy Skull tasting was held at Mug's Ale House in Brooklyn, New York and featured barley wines selected by uber-sot, editor of Beer Philadelphia, and creator of Split Thy Skull, Jim Anderson. Anderson brought with him quite a bunch of barley wines. The diversity of taste was astonishing. Though sampling 8 barley wines over the course of two hours left me a bit woozy, here are my tasting notes. |
