Figured, since it’s his b-day, might as well drink his namesake beer. My 5th vintage of Diablo, & fave. Chinook spice gives it a Xmas cookie

Tap at the Watering Hole. Rich red colour, no head. Aroma is booze, wood, steeped fruit, slight funk, alcohol. Taste is not bad. Lots of rich fruit, plums, cherry, bit of orange. Bitterness leaves a prickle on the tongue. Not the sweetness I would expect. Nice sharpness to it. Body is quite full on. Thick but not oily. Maybe might be nicer after a bit if ageing, but nice enough as it is.

At a tasting, thanks, small off white bubbly head, murky very deep orange color, aroma of brown bread, pale raisins, caramel and hints of toffee and umami, umami flavor with toffee and caramel and a whiff mushrooms, medium sweetness, light noticable bitterness. Nice.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Lior D's place. Thanks Lior D. Hazy amber, off-white head. Malt, caramel, stale hops, some fruitiness, toffee, alcohol, sweet and umami, medium-bodied. Not my thing.

Definitely the hoppiest barleywine I've had. Not an ideal bw, for me, but certainly good. Amazing bottle, too.
