Alaskan Barleywine Pilot Series is grandpa's old cough medicine

I have a case of the black lung, so I'm adding a nip of doctor prescribed Cheratussin to my alcohol intake, in addition to this 10.7% Bronze Medal Winner 2010 Beer Cup in the Barley Wine category from Alaskan.

By themselves, they are not strong enough, but all three of these combined will hopefully get me drunk laughing

I'm tasting dark caramel malts with brown sugar and chocolate and a dry finish. Like the codeine in the Robitussin, the alcohol is hidden well. It's a different, darker barleywine for those long Alaskan Winter Nights...? I dunno, this is only based on my recent viewing of the horror film 30 DAYS OF NIGHT. Did I mention I love Cheratussin? TRANSFORMERS rating.
