Arcadia Ales - Cereal Killer (2006)

Brewed in the traditional English style of Barleywines, Cereal Killer is an explosion of full-bodied, malty goodness. Huge syrupy flavors flow over caramel, toffee, molasses and toasty notes. All these rich malt flavors are balanced out nicely by just the right amount of citrus-like hoppy bitterness. A high alcohol content makes this a beer for the cellar. As this brew ages, it will continue to develop more sherry-like flavors and aromas similar to a cask-aged port.

This is for the 2006 release which I opened in 2011.

The ABV is 10.0 and the IBU rating is 70
Style - English Barleywine
Glass to use- Pint Glass, Snifter, Oversized Wine Glass
Delivery 22oz Bottle

Can be cellared for long periods, under the proper conditions.

The Pour - Pours a cloudy brown color with very little head. Good lacing.
Aroma - Sweet, some fruits and malty.
Taste -  Malty, a little musty (leathery), sweet, some hop bitterness but not much.
Mouth Feel - Low carbonation, full body.
Drinkable - At 5 years of aging this bottle had just past it's prime.  May have been perfect about 6 months ago.  Still a great brew.  No hoppy taste like the 2010 I had earlier this year. 

This beer pairs well with cheese and desserts.

This beer gets a Duper rating of A.
BeerAdvocate Rating =B
Ratebeer Rating =94
