12oz bottle pours out amber color topped with a small sand head. Nose is nice sweet caramel rich malts some barrel notes. Taste is more of the sweet caramel malts some dark fruit.

pous a medium dark to dark amber. Small white head forms very slow, but leaves a creamy texture when it stabilizes. Scent is typical Barleywine, dried fruits - complex and full. Fairly heavy. Rich . Taste is full, a clear and intense BW base. Tad caramelly, hints of hidden roast, even. Dried fruits. The barrels impact by delivering a certain sweetness ( different from malt sweetness) . The fruityness is surprisingly subtile ( if you know Endovelicus, which is a fruit bomb) The raspberry's it carry, aren't to be recognized specifically, but they bring an interesting, undefineable touch to the beer in terms of sweet ( emphasized by its honey base) as well as a tad tart to the mix. Thats not to say the beer is tart, its not. None. But the tartness from the raspberries lift up the otherwise very 'boringly' sweet middle part of the beer. Mild bitterness is still present, only enough to truly collab on the final desired taste. As the beer warms, the raspberry's come more up front, still relatively undefineable, but with a more recognizable red fruit, jammy aroma. Overall, a pretty nice BW thats far more interesting due to it's barrels, than it would have been without them. But the Endovelicus on its own isn't very recognizable by trying the beer on its own, which is perhaps the only minor tweak i'd propose to further perfect this ale.

12oz bottle pours with a clear deep copper colored body that has a thin mahogany hue and supports no head at all. The aroma offers up molasses, sweet dates and tootsie roll caramel candy. The taste delivers similar notes with smooth sweet molasses, a large handful of caramel tootsie rolls and a modest grape like sweet fruity esters sensation. Solid sipper with a pleasing balance of flavors.
