Short and sweet, that is an apt description of Golden Draak. While I did enjoy this dark brown beer it was a bit too sweet for my taste... great flavor but I prefer less honey sweet to my drinks. But, Kendra loved it... she enjoyed the beer greatly.
All in all it was nice but more of a ladies drink as far as I am concerned.
As for the Golden Draak, it was OK, a bit sweet, even for me and it gave me a headache (for those that don't know me, I have these crazy allergies, triggered by some unknown substance in various foods/liquids - an no it's not a hangover - it's one or two swallows and I have a migraine for 3 days). I can drink half a bottle of Patron and be completely fine the next day, or a sip of Bailey's and be down for two to three days. If you look around you'll see raving reviews for Golden Draak, so don't take my word as gospel, but if you want a really good barleywine - you'd be better served heading over to Flatbranch and picking up a growler of theirs.
Not yet... going to enjoy it tonight. I"m looking forward to that beer.
