Life Is Round is a deep crimson colored Barleywine blended from Old Fitzgerald, Blantons, and Weller barrels. A duo of Barleywines coalesce into aromas of dark cherry, dried plum, vanilla, and marshmallow. The blend reveals flavors of marzipan, English toffee, brown sugar taffy, and homemade caramel. Bright notes of dark raisin and a hint of baking spice bear a nod to the distinguished Barleywine culture from abroad.

500ml bottle. Soft, smooth and slightly bourbony and sweetish with some vanilla, oak, toffee, syrup, earthiness and raisins. Quite soft and balanced slow sipper. Good stuff.

Bottle thanks to Anthony. Pours a very dark brown with small beige bead that lasts. The aroma is strong bourbon, wood, caramel, brown sugar, licorice. Slick body, caramel, bourbon, licorice, nice sweetness, enjoyed this.
