(On tap @ Birreria Volo, Toronto, Jan 19/18) Pours a clear dark reddish amber with a small stable off white head. Notes of caramel, toasty malt, pine resin, citrus pith, dried fruit, booze, moderately sweet, fairly high bitterness, some alcohol burn. A bit watery/lacking in flavour concentration for its strength. A bit less than medium bodied with average carbonation. Just not particularly inspiring, HotD is capable of making a much better barley wine than this. Maybe not in the best condition?

Draught @ Hatten. Pours mahogny with no head. Notes of sherry, vanilla and sweet carrots in aroma. Sweet alcoholic taste with notes of milk chocolate, vanilla and dried fruits. The mouthfeel could be smoother and thicker.
