Nip bottle shared by Sean, thanks! Poured a deep brownish amber with no head whatsoever. Aroma was strong bourbon with underlying sweet grains, caramel and a hint of bread. Flavor was extremely thin with a hint of bourbon and sweet grain. A bit more flavor came out as The beer was completely flat as well.

2008 MBG Winter Beer Fest. Medium-bodied barleywine with strong buttery oak and bourbon characteristics, backed by caramely, toasty malts and modest hops. Based on the previous review, I suspect this is a different batch, as this was a pleasant sipper.
