Poured from a 22 oz bottle. Aroma is malt forward with loads of caramel and toffee layers along with burnt sugar, molasses, Tootsie Rolls and hints of chocolate. Light toasted bread and faint nut notes. Hints of leather, raisin, date and tobacco. Light bourbon and alcohol notes. Pours brown with auburn and ruby hues on the edges with a small, thin, tan head that recedes quickly and disappears. No lacing and long legs. Flavor is fairly sweet with loads of caramel, toffee, burnt sugar, Tootsie Roll and toasted bread. Faint notes of molasses, nuts and chocolate. Light fruit notes of raisin and dates. Light bourbon and oak notes. Hints of leather. Mouthfeel is full bodied and a bit sticky with low carbonation. Low astringency and medium low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid BA barleywine. Really nice malt notes and complexity with balanced bourbon and barrel notes. Sweet but not as much as some of the recent Brew X000 beers.

22 oz. bottle, pours a deep dark mahogany with a small beige head. Aroma is full of bourbon barrels, plenty of caramel, brown sugar, and dark dried fruits. Flavour is rich and treacly, with lots of bourbon, dark dried fruits, and caramel. Rich and beautifully balanced. Excellent.

Rated at Hitas Beer Lounge - Platinum Edition. Smooth, malty and slightly caramely with some prunes, figs, toffee, syrup and bourbon. Quite soft and complex

7/11/2023. Bottle shared by Colin, cheers. Pours very dark brown with a small bubbly beige head. Aroma is warming, boozy, brown sugar, caramel, bourbon, dried fruits, woody edge. Medium sugary sweetness, moderate bitterness. Full bodied, very smooth, soft carbonation. Lovely.

22oz shared with Alex and Farees (thx, for the bottle!) @ Ryan's after crazy several weeks helping wife with her business. Appearance: very dak copper with a beige head. Aroma: caramel, some creamy notes, bit of booze, malty. Taste: along the same lines, lots of caramel, nice creamy oak notes, nice sweetness (almost on the edge, though). Overall: good one. I think it's much better than 5k and 6k.
