The nose is pretty modest, and is made up of rounded malt notes and a whiff of molasses. Barney Flats has a
velvety mouthfeel, and is a treat going down the ol' gullet. Like the
aroma, the flavour is understated. It leans toward malty, with shades of
molasses, caramel, and brown sugar. It finishes gently, with caramel
sweetness and just a pinch of hops.
For me,
this beer's strongest suit is its creamy smoothness. Otherwise, it has a
lovely flavour, but one that seems shy. I'd have liked it to emote a
bit more and assert its presence at centre stage. I also loved the
label. What's the deal? Is it a "caribear"?
Rating: 7.0 out of 10.
