Barrel-aged barleywine aged 31 months in Weller and Heaven Hills bourbon barrels. Pouring a deep amber to reddish-brown hue, it invites you in with a warm, inviting aroma of caramelized sugar and dark fruit; think ripe plums, figs and raisins with a whisper of vanilla and oak.

Dark brown. No head. Looks a bit flat and muddy. The aroma has some nice vanilla, but also quite a bit of fruitiness in there, some dark malts. The fruitiness is great - dried fruit, lots of alcohol, wood, and vanilla. Great complexity - a bit flat but otherwise this is coming together really well.

750ml (thx, Brent L.!) @ Ryan's shared with Josh, Farees, and Phill.
Aroma: dark fruits, moderately sweet, a bit hot.
Taste: along the same lines, nice dark fruits, caramel. A bit perfumy in aftertaste.
Overall: nice one.

Poured from 750mL bottle (2022 vintage - Weller/Heaven Hill barrels). Near black with minimal beige head. Nice balanced bourbon barrels, dark sugars, feint roast, and perfumey finish, enjoyable.
