Pours semi-unclear dark amber to brown' small white ring of foam, some lacing. Smell is sharp, bitter style of BW. Bit dades. Taste is very typical for those more bitter, and sharp barleywines ( I prefer the thick, sweet ones in this style ) . Aftertaste showcases some of the dried fruits, and some alcohol.
