Very smooth barley wine. This is aged at 2013 though so go figure. Root, marmalade and sweet tobacco. Hazy orange pour with great head. Bittersweet and boozy end, with notes of lingering citrus. Apparently they closed, so this was one of those last drinks for the departed. Tap at Horse Brass.

Sampled at Toronado 2009 Barleywine Festival. Pours deep amber with copper edges and tan head. The aroma is a mix of figs, prunes and dates to go along with aged chewy malts and faint wood. Good nose yet a bit modest in strength. Very nice taste that will yield increased goodness with more age. I get musty dusty dates, yams, figs and prunes. Before midway the barrel notes rise up with bourbon, vanilla and oak adding to the complexity. Well balanced flavors that demand additional quaffings. I could sip this all day/night.

Hard Liver ’08
Chestnut brown, opaque. Milk chocolate nose with light alcohol and toasty hops. Rather bitter, with some toasty, chocolate malts. Fun stuff. A bit boozy...but a tasty finish.
