Sampled at Borefts After Fest 2016, Kaapse, and later from a bottle. Dark pour with a tan head. Notes of caramel, toffee, subtle dried fruit, tons of bourbon, vanilla and toasted coconut. Smooth texture, full body, low carbonation and a nice bitter-sweet finish. An amazing barleywine, they nailed the barrel on this one perfectly. --- Beer merged from original tick of White Label Barley Wine Old Smokey Moonshine BA on 12 Oct 2016 at 11:27 - Score:

Tap at the Borefts after party 2016 @ Kaapse. Poured a hazy dark brown with a thin whispy white head. The aroma is rich creamy yeast, sweet malt alcohol red berry fruit. The flavour moderate sweet with a super smooth rich bourbon alcoholic creamy fruit palate. Full bodied with flat carbonation. Superb.
