2009 bottle, labeled as Bourbon Barrel Barleywine, from NickD717. Thanks!"," Dark brown color. Malt, oak, bourbon and a hint of dried fruit in the aroma. Malty sweet, oaky flavor with bourbon, orange liqour, earthy hops and dried figs. Well balanced yet very powerful. Yum!",!,

Bottle. Red bronze pour. Aroma of caramel fudge, delicious bourbon booze, vanilla, cherry, figs, caramelised malt and some coconut. Flavor of rich ripe red fruit, caramel fudge, raisin, figs, dates, bourbon booze, oaky vanilla and caramelised malt. How a bourbon ba barley wine should be, rich and decadent. Fantastic.

Opaque deep amber colour, small frothy off-white head, settles quickly to a thin layer.Aroma roasted malt, bourbon, vanilla, oak, raisin. Taste heavy sweet and slightly bitter, malty, bourbon, oak, vanilla, toffee, dried fruits. Sweet and prickly mouthfeel, sweet aftertaste, almost no bitterness, alcohol, lingering roastiness. Full-bodied, oily to sticky texture, flat carbonation, rich and complex, but handle with care imo too boozy, only drinkable in small sips...
