Can shared at Lucky Bamboo. Thanks Mike! Pours a clear copper with a finger of foam that lingers. Lots of toasted caramel aromas with vanilla and coffee aromas. Some chocolate covered caramel and smooth creamy vanilla on the palate. Sweet, but some hoppy bitterness on the end. Texture is very different from classic barleywines. New territory for barley wine I suppose. Still enjoyable. --- Beer merged from original tick of Bourbon Barrel-Aged The Abider on 24 Mar 2018 at 21:19 - Score: 8
