On tap at Parallel 49, pours a clear dark amber with a small off-white head. Aroma has bready malt,, some sweat socks, and a touch of red fruits. Flavour is much better, with dark red fruits, some brown sugar, and bready caramel. Rich and chewy, but not the most sophisticated. Solid effort.

The aroma is dry pasta and dirty socks. Has a dark clearish copper body and very little foam. Flavour is all heavy boozy caramel, it made me shudder. Mouthfeel is all a bad cloying sugar aftertaste. This thing has everything you don't want in a barleywine. Maybe it could be aged to dial down the harshness but something tells me it still wouldn't fix some issues going on.
