Labelled as 'Ale aged in American Oak Bourbon Barrels at 12,3% Alc/Vol, 2015 Vintage Beautiful, fairly hazy amber and deep copper coloured body with hints of ruby, brown and orange - very nice, all with a thinnish, relatively fast-dying off-white head that starts off at about two centimetres and ends at just a layer after a few minutes. Aroma of rich pitted fruits with some figs, apricots, plums, raisins, grapes and even some caramelised sugars and some alcohol noticeable, but the sugars are great here and show off nicely in the nose along with some subdued yeast. Medium-bodied; Very amazing sweetness shows at first with the fruits all front and centre along with some earthiness, but a lot of figs, apricots, pears, raisins, plums and brown along with caster sugar all come through nicely here and brings out a great sweetness that is balanced out with a ton of richness and yeast that shows some strength at the end, but the aging is great here. Aftertaste is sweet, rich and very fruity with a lot of caramelised sugars and enjoyable richness from earthy and slight pungency from yeast, but this seems like around 8 or at most 9 per cent alcohol that goes down quite easily. Overall, a very nice barley wine, perhaps it always was or always will be, but the aging I did with this seems to be very nice and while I wish I had another bottle, this might be around the absolutely perfect time to drink this one - while it still has a lot of body and complexity, but goes down very easily, especially the for the style. I sampled this 75 cL corked and caged bottle (2015 Vintage), purchased from Vintage Sellars in Great Falls, Montana on 20-June-2016 for US$16,95 as Bottle #3080 of 3300, sampled at my house here in Washington, just over six years after purchase and 7 years after bottling sampled just before my birthday on 26-June-2022.
