Cloudy dark red - brown beer. Malty nose. Neutral palate, low carbonation. Rich malt with a light touch of chocolate. The oaking is light providing a little softness and sweetness. Plummy fruit and aniseed alcohol in the semi dry finish. Not the best of BA Barleywines but alright.

Bottle shared by MrChopin. Pours a clear copper color with a thin head. Decent head retention. Aroma of toffee, plum, spice, earthy notes and berries. The taste is toffee, anise, wood, vanilla, brown sugar and a peppery note. Full bodied. Nice beer right up my alley.

Sample from a bottle from an unknown source at One Funky Afternoon at Jackie O’s on 04/02/2011: The beer pours a clear mahogany-orange color with a medium off-white head that dissipates steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Fruity aroma with some sweet malty notes. Medium to full body with flavors of bready malt, caramel, fruit and hops. The finish is caramel malt up front and leaves a lingering hoppy aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Tasted at the big “SeaBass has got to go” tasting and big thanks to askofficerfriendly for this one. Pours kind of amber with ruby copper hues and off white head. The aroma is a bit of grapefruit hops, some spicy hops, sweet malts, mild caramel and some molasses too. The taste has a tasty mix of prunes and molasses and then going toward sweet bourbon and just an hint of wood about midway. To the finish I get the addition of muted aged pine hops, some sugary sweet malts, more bourbon and a sense of oak where the bourbon begins to get a bit harsh but still totally in control and largely smooth and yummy. Deep into the after taste notes of caramel candy, pine hops and grapefruit linger on and on and force you to go back from another taste.
