I'm one of those Atkins' diet people. Thanks! Mon Sep 18 23:17:09 -0700 2000 0 Amy 1 1416935 Considering the alcohol content of this beer is, I believe, around 9% the calorie level of this beer is quite high. Other then the alcohol level, which I am speculating based on it being a barley wine and not actually a beer, I have no idea of the nutritional value of this product. I don’t know if this would be a recommended product for people on a diet. I would recommend it for people looking for a quick buzz.

Barley wine is the style of beer. Not only for those looking for a quick buzz, as drinking EKU 28 is not only for those who want a "quick buzz" I suppose that you look at drinking coffee as for people just looking for a "quick buzz" as well... Oh well.

And beer it is; "barley wine" isn't wine. See another bigfoot discussion further down this same board. If you want a quick buzz, I believe vodka works a lot more efficiently and inexpensively.
