Bottle. Color: Hazy dark amber, thin off-white head. Pretty light for a Barleywine. Aroma: Dark fruit, raisins, toffee. Taste: Medium sweet, fruity, raisins, red and dark fruit, toffee, sweetish and herbal Rum notes and pretty subtle Bourbon and vanilla notes. Long lasting bittery fruity finish. Medium to over medium body, pretty thin for a Barleywine. Under average carbonation. Pretty strange, one part of me dislikes this beer because it's too thin, too much red fruit, too sweet and herbal while the other part of me still likes the taste of this beer. Overall it's an unusual taste and it's ok, but not one of my favourites.
