pours orange-brown with an orange-brown head. strong full bodied malty aroma with a good layer of dead hops on top. Just as I prefer my barley wine. Fortunately this one is not *that* fresh hoppy, although they call it american. It does, actually, remind me of us barley wones as they were 10-15 yrs ago. Flavor is way malty, A little bit of light caramel, not much on the hop front, except perhaps rounding off the natural malty bitterness. I think i would like a little bit more bitterness towards the end. Overall a great barleywine and actually quite easy drinking despite the 10%.

Dark red amber with a small off-white head. Fruity aroma of apricot, plums and red apples with toffee and caramel, dark bread and a touch of spice. Sweet fruity flavour with a lot of malt, warm alcohol and a quite bitter finish.
