Santa Fe Chicken Killer Barley Wine Ale:
Hello one and all and welcome back to another beer review that today, isn’t a beer review but a barley wine review (and technically it‘s still a beer but who‘s counting).  Yes friends today we look at that style of beer that takes normal beer ingredients and somehow makes a concoction that is full of flavors like sweet fruits, sour notes and a balance of hops and malts that is to be marveled.  Santa Fe’s Chicken Killer is that barley wine that should be considered for anyone interested in trying a barley wine.  The beer pours a nice semi-cloudy amber with not much head to speak of though what is there is stark white and a nose of sour notes and overly ripened dark fruits.  The barley wine’s initial taste is a very malt heavy on the front end with a touch of hops that bloom into a mellow savory sweet taste that rolls to the back of the tongue where the piney hop flavor takes over leaving a slightly dry aftertaste.  This is an awesome beer/barley wine and it blurs the line of sour beer and sweet beer very well and it apparently ages very well like a good wine so the possibility of getting a 2012 barley wine vintage in 2015 is still possible folks.  Do yourself a favor and give Chicken Killer a try, you just might have found yourself a new beer style that will truly set you apart for the masses.
