12 oz. can, pours a deep dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma is barrel-heavy, with smoky bourbon, caramel and bready malt. Flavour is very syrupy, with intense caramel, smoky bourbon, bready malt, and some maple syrup. A bit too syrupy on the palate, with big boozy, bourbony syrupiness. Good but a bit unrefined.

Draft at GABBF: Poured a murky brown with a tan jello head. Sticky aroma that has bourbon and vanilla, with loads of malt. Taste is similar with the malt coming through the most, but bourbon and caramel finish.

Reviewed from notes.
The appearance had a somewhat hazy brown to an off-colored orange colored body with a quick leveling head that tried to be at least a finger’s worth but like I said, it lowers extremely quickly (I don’t think I’ve ever seen any Barleywine lower so quickly), lacing - well, there’s some there but honestly it doesn’t coat the glass as expected.
The smell is where it makes up for its appearance. The aroma is outstanding for an English Barleywine as there’s enough oaky wood, tobacco and caramel.
The taste was mainly sweet with a nice carmel/tobacco aftertaste; quick dry finish.
On the palate, for an English Barleywine, it actually sits somewhat light to medium, weird, ok, I’m not exactly sure why I find this one more of one to have a somewhat sessionability aspect to it, but actually to me, I do see this. Carbonation is way smoother than most English Barleywines I’ve had.
Overall, uh...ok, honestly, to me I really like this, but then again, its hard for me to not like any barleywine so for the most part...hmmm...ok....well worthy of having again. Could this stand with the big boys, probably not, but hey try it, if you see it.

Draft at GABBF. Murky variegated golden brown color, thick cream colored head. Aroma of vanilla and toffee. Taste has rich. Utterscotch, chocolate, toffee definitely a big beer.
