Name: Pugsley’s Signature Series

Brewery: Shipyard Brewing Company

Overall Rating:  A -

Style: Barley Wine

Serving Style:  22 oz Bomber Bottle

ABV: 8.5 %

Price: $ 6.99

Aroma:  Can definately sense the malts when taking a nice smell of this brew.  With 6 different types, this smells heavenly.  Some brown sugar tones come through as well.

Appearance: A nice dark reddish brown color when held up to the light.  Unless you hold to a light, you will not be able to see through it.  Good tan head when I first poured it in my glass. 

Flavor:  Good malty taste in every sip.  Some smokey and brown sugar tones are noted as you enjoy it.

Mouthfeel: Decent body, light and creamy feel as it goes down.  A little dry but not much.

Enjoyability: I am very much enjoying this style of beer.  I am usually an Imerial Stout drinker but the Barley Wine style does have some awesome beers.  This is another brew that I know I will visit again. 

Another take:             Shipyard Brewing Company                            2Beer Guys
