Fairly clean, with very tiny transparent particles, slightly hazing. Amber with golden highlights, a big head, light-beige, bubbly, foamy, frothy with very good retention and foam lacing. Toasty malt nose with caramel ones, dark fruits and a herbal touch. The mouthfeel is quite dry in the finish, very bitter end. The hoppiness takes over the flavours of malt and fruitiness. This cuts the richness, sweetness of the style. A very, very hoppy Barleywine that lingers tart, bitterness, wood and grass.
