So, as I'm planning to argue in a posting real soon now (ie when I finally get round to it), barley wine in itself is not the name of a style. <br /><br />What interests me is whether there was any perceived difference among brewers between a Stingo and an Old Tom, or whether these were labels they stuck on arbitrarily.Martyn Cornellhttp://zythophile.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-63632665862410764552010-05-19T02:05:54.483-07:002010-05-19T02:05:54.483-07:00Interesting to see the ones at 6% ABV and under.
