Interesting, they describe that beer as a barley wine...
"A pale, smooth yet deceptively strong barley wine. It’s sweetness in the palate is perfectly balanced by a distinct hoppiness & bitterness."
That's a stretch as barely wines start at 8% according to wiki and I've never seen anything under 9% called a barley wine. "A barley wine typically reaches an alcohol strength of 8 to 12% by volume and is brewed from specific gravities as high as 1.120. It is called a barley wine because it can be as strong as wine;"
