London Balling
Louisville, KY
Type of Beer: Barley wine
ABV: 12.5%
Big, ballsy, boozy. Those are the first words that came to mind when I just sniffed this beer. Bourbon notes predominate, with vanilla and a caramel sweetness tagging along for the ride. The flavors mimic the aromas with a very light nutty note emerging from the background to contribute added interest. Really, though, London Balling is pretty much all bourbon, all the time, with a slightly malty body giving this behemoth of a beer added complexity as it warms in the glass. If you love bourbon, you will love London Balling.
