Snifter pour on tap at brewpub day after St. Patty’s day. Comes to me with hairline halo lacing.. Dark red brown in color. Too dark to see through. Aroma is dark sweet plums with some brown sugar. Sweet but not a bomb and the alcohol subdued. Low on hops. Some faint fruity bubblegum. Mouthfeel is low carbed slightly syrupy but not a thick mouthfeel. Works very well for a barleywine. Flavor is sweet, slight rotten fruit with plums, and a malt syrup sweetness. Goes down easy low on hops. Like it, sweet, syrupy but not too much. Low on hops with a fruity aspect.
