Weyerbacher Blithering Idiot: Barleywine Ale

With the paucity of Bocks out there, I've decided to move on to Barleywine Ales, high alcohol content, smooth and fruity. Blithering Idiot pours the color of whiskey, without even the hint of a head. My first impression was of cream soda, with some alcohol fumes tickling the back of my nose. I'm catching the taste of figs, raisins and even a whiff of concord grapes. There's not much carbonation, and a hint of scotch to go with the hue. A high class brew for high class drinkers!
