Poured from a 500 ml bottle.
Aroma is malt forward with layers of caramel and toffee, lighter toasted bread and nut notes. Some burnt sugar and lighter chocolate notes. Medium light bourbon and alcohol notes with hints of oak. Light dried fruit notes.
Pours dark brown, almost black with a medium small, moderately thick, light mocha head that recedes fairly quickly to the edges where a small film lingers.
Flavor is a bit sweet with loads of caramel and toffee notes. Lots of burnt sugar nland dark caramel notes. Lighter notes of chocolate and toasted bread. Moderate bitterness and medium alcohol notes. Medium light bourbon notes and lighter oak.
Mouthfeel is full bodied with medium low carbonation. Medium low astringency and medium alcohol warmth.
Overall, a solid barleywine. Lots of malt complexity with nice caramel and toffee notes. The burnt sugar notes are a bit too strong, especially in the flavor adding some bitterness and astringency. Bourbon notes were lighter than I was expecting, but nice.

Tap. Pours unclear mahogany, minimal head or lacing. Aroma is boozy, bourbon, oak, vanilla, toffee. Flavor is less boozy than Aroma, nice blend of dark sugars, oak tannin, vanilla. Almost a jack Daniel's thing going, which is strangely a positive when it comes to barrel aging. Medium body.

Draft. Black beer with a tan head. Chocolate and honey aroma. Honey and bourbon flavor with caramel and apple. Fuller bodied. Honey and bourbon linger with caramel.
