Tap at Bluejacket. Burgundy brown body. Rich figgy, fruity Barleywine, maybe UK influenced....maybe just not that hoppy. Its OK, but just a little one-dimensional in its nutty, fruity sweetness. Unique I guess too, but not so great.

Reddish cloudy pour with decent head and lacing. Dangerously light on booze in aroma. More like a Belgian strong than a barley wine. Finishes with light sweetness. Pours cloudy light brown. Tap at brewpub.

Draft at the source. Clear deep amber red color, white edge head. Aroma of berries and stone fruit, lightly toasted caramel. Taste is fruity, berries, definitely a big beer. Nice stuff.
