pours clear brown, settles brown with a light brown head.
aroma is very barley wineish, with lots of subtle nuances and notes, but still a very full bodied toasted bready malty toffee like base. the aroma is not boozy, more like velvety but not sweet and not indicating lots of added flavors. super nice aroma, super nice barley wine.
flavor is more all over the place than aroma, and is more like a quad than like a barley wine. i get wood, raisins, yeasty notes, roasted raisins (if that is a thing) dried apple with skin, muesli, extremely complex, mostly resembling a quad. fairly well balanced but with the roughness you could get from a quad - but surprisingly non-brutal, you never get to notice the 12% alc.

Superficial tasting at company beer tasting. Dark brown body under a small beige head. Sweet and malty, mild roast, chocolate, dry fruit, caramel, coffee, mild oak and warming alcohol. Nice and tasty pastry stout that avoids the silliness from the extreme adjunct versions. Nice.
