Notes
OH State Fair 2017 (25.6)
AROMA: (5.6/12) Dark stone fruit, caramel brown sugar, a bit vinous in a good way (you put the wine in barleywine), bread; Initial aroma of solvent/acetone, moderate sherry/vinous aromas. Med-Low dried fruit, cherry & raisin. No hops, medium biscuit & caramel malt; Rich malty aroma with dark stone fruit, cherry coming through the most, not much hop on the aroma, a bit of heat, oxidation is present.
APPEARANCE: (2.3/3) Amber, copper color, fair amount of light tan head that dissipates quickly, completely opaque / very hazy; Medium amber brown, extremely hazy, thick ivory head, fine. Excellent retention; Rich amber, hazy, creamy peach color head, good retention, wish it cleared more.
FLAVOR: (10/20) Alcohol & solvent, a bit cardboardy, faint nail polish, sherry dried fruit, brown sugar; Substantial acetone/solvent/higher alcohols mix with oxidized notes (sherry & dried fruits), malt at medium level, some bread and caramel. Medium bitterness, no hop flavor. Dry & harsh finish; Solvent, issues are present, also oxidized, faded hops, the dark fruit characteristics were almost there, but the acetone issues hurt it.
MOUTHFEEL: (3/5) Good carbonation, a little earthy, hot alcohol warmth; medium body, medium carbonation, medium high alcohols are harsh on palate. Drying & highly astringent; Hot, good carbonation, astringent.
OVERALL IMPRESSION: (4.6/10) I'm guessing there might have been some under achieved yeast. I personally am enjoying the dried fruit flavors, but it also seems a tad stale; Beer has multiple issues. Solvent notes likely stressed fermentation from things like under oxygenation, under pitching, poor temp control, oxidation: look up causes & controls to improve; unfortunately it seems to be infected, you may have fermented at too high a temperature.
