Chestnut brown, no head. Opaque. On the nose, almonds, sweet barrel, touch of soy sauce. That's kind of the palate, too. Lots of bourbon, sticky sweet malts, toffee sort of sugars, and a bit of heat in the finish. Big, with decent balance.

500ml (thx, Brian S.!) @ Ryan's. Appearance: brown with some beige head. Aroma: loads of bourbon with dark fruits and toffee notes. Taste: along the same lines, quite sweet, lots of raisins and figs. Overall: a nice classic English Barleywine.

[2022-05-27] Flaska från share, b2. Mörk svartbrun, liten beige krona. Kolaremmar, mycket smak från faten, bra hetta och riv i, lite katrinplommon, bränt socker. Mycket gott. [9/4/9/4/17=4,3] [2022-10-08] Flaska från Private Press, b2. Samma som ovan, men petar upp betyget ett snäpp. [9/4/9/4/18=4,4]

Poured from a 500 ml bottle. Aroma is malt forward with tons of toffee, caramel, toasted bread, and burnt sugar notes. Hints of chocolate, roast and treacle. Medium alcohol notes with quite a bit of bourbon character with hints of oak and almond. Pours a rather dark brown with a small, thin, dark tan head that recedes quickly to the edges where it lingers for a bit. Faint lacing and very long legs. Flavor is very sweet with loads of toffee, caramel, toasted bread, and burnt sugar. Lighter hints of roast and chocolate. Medium high bitterness that lingers a bit in the finish. Hints of raisin and dates. Moderate alcohol notes with light bourbon character. Hints of oak. Mouthfeel is full bodied with low carbonation. Low astringency and medium alcohol warmth. Overall, a really solid BA barleywine. Great malt notes with balanced barrel character. A bit bitter in the finish.

500ml bottle pours out cola brown topped with a small tan head. Nose is sweet caramel toffee malts bourbon barrel goodness and some pit fruit. Taste is more of the nice sweet malts pit fruit bourbon barrel vanilla touch.
