Reviewed from notes.
On tap at C.H. Evans on 11/21/2021.
Poured into a tulip.
Appearance: dark ruddy amber/almost brown color with a super thin rim of white frothy head which dissipated subtly and left a nice coating of lace sticking to the sides
Aroma: nice sweet dark fruits, sweet leather, touch of vanilla, toasted sweet bready tones and a little bit of caramelized brown sugar
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet malty dry breadiness; finishes semi-dry, toasty and some booziness
Texture: medium bodied, great sipper; some dry smoothness but nice as I believe that helped with this beer not becoming cloying
Overall: I say a pretty nicely done English barleywine I wish I could have again.
