About This Beer
New Image imagined a Barleywine that could do two things: to taste delicious on its own, as an approachable, anytime sipper — and to work as a base for their aging program.
Meet Dagon, the fresh and friendly version.
They created the English-style brew with a blend of six locally-grown specialty malts and hopped the wort with UK Pilgrim and Willamette.
Tasting Notes
The cones give each toffeelike sip a balancing bitterness as well as nuances of citrus and spice. A swirl of the glass reveals aromas of wildflower honey, grapefruit, and cinnamon. It pleases the palate with sweet raisin and cola tones before all that malty caramel fades into a relatively dry finish.

Not a fan. Tastes more like a bad American bw than an English bw.

English toffee explosion 💥 has that old school familiarity mixed with a hop nectar bitterness.

I don't usually go for barleywines but this was one of the best I've had, fairly sweet, not harsh at all

Lots of sweet malt. Relatively dark without being too much like motor oil. Sweet again in the middle with some roasty bitterness at the end. Not bad.

At first I thought this was hoppy and far from English style bwizzle, but the second try was much better with wafts of caramel and chewy rolo character.

Different. Improved as it warmed. A little plain.
