500 ml bottle. # 13 / 408. Aroma is a healthy amount of rye grain, soft brown sugar. Flavor is balanced. Typical sweet barley wine characteristics with a long lasting spicy rye finish. Very smooth without any flaw or alcohol found anything. Real good.

Bottle pour with membership group (minus Clark--miss you buddy!). Dark maple syrup brown, light viscosity, no head or lacing. Aroma is strong, spicy rye, caramel, brown sugar, light pine. Taste is strong spicy rye, brown sugar, caramel. Smooth, silky texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste. The rye tends to dominate a bit to the exclusion of other aspects. If you give it time, milder aromas/tastes emerge.
