Inspired by classic English Harvest Ale, look for notes of toffee, caramel, figs, dates, honey, nougat, walnut, dark and stone fruits.
Enjoy the harvest now, or plant in your cellar for a future harvest as the flavor evolves.

Can from Tavour. Pours clear darkly ruddy mahogany with a persistent creamy tan head. Aroma of nice caramel. Arguably full bodied. Not dry but not excessively sweet. Toffee for malt. A little heat for bitter. Some non-pine resin, some raisin/fig, some pear, some pale stone fruits. Surprisingly complex for me. Excellent flavor.

16oz can from HomeBrewStuff clear redish amber pour. A brief tan skin of bubbles can be coaxed with an aggressive pour. Faint light toasted malt and some pale rip pitted fruit aromas. Flavors are similar but with some resinous hop bitterness crowding its way in for balance. Middle of the road, but smooth and balanced. Would not have guessed the high ABV

16oz can from Brewers Haven. Ruddy mahogany pour with a thin beige ring of head. Sweet malty aroma, brown sugar, notes of tobacco, leather. Taste is pit fruit, raisins, mild sweetness with some alcohol apparent at the back. Solid Barleywine.

Bomber from the brewery. Aroma is caramel, grain, cola. Pours murky brown-orange with no head; looks completely flat. Taste is sweet with a mild bitterness in the finish. Flavors of caramel, toast, herbal hops, licorice, alcohol. I could use a bit more carbonation. Nice flavors here, though. If it looked better and had more carbonation, this would be awesome. Not bad, though.
