Can. Clear deep amber beer, a decent tan head but it doesn't last. Smooth and slightly viscous palate, decent fine carbonation on the back end. Revolution barrel aged barleywines seem to have an inherent rightness to me. This one is no exception. Smooth rich malts, a little malt cream and rich slightly singed darkish toffee caramel, none of it candy but rich and all grown up like. The Rum barrelling tastes expensive which given the price of this beer, so it should! Rich fruity rum but oh so smooth and none of that high ester malarkey. Some sort wet wood and a light oak induced vanilla round everything off along with a some mild alcohol spice. I'm entranced by these Revolution ba barleywines. So rich and right and hence, so bloody drinkable!
