750 c&c from Bine & Vine. Pours dark brown with a large, persisting creamy/foamy tan head. Aroma of dark fruits and dark malt/toffee. Bourbon notes. Full bodied. Lots of dark fruit - particularly raisins. Not dry but avoids sticky. Heat is discernible, but not excessive. Mixed stuff like oak astringency, dark malt and some coffee, and perhaps chocolate. Kandi is present, but almost gets lost. Good stuff indeed.

Dark mahogany colour, minimal beige-ish lacing,; aroma and taste of dark chocolate, anise, prune, dried cherry, walnut, pecan, some coffee and whipped cream, as well as resiny notes; amazingly complex 'beer'

Mooch tasting, courtesy of the gang, bottle
Dark brown colour. Mild aroma of malt, caramel, earth. Dark sugars, with delicate fruity tones, acidity, and then wood and vanilla, finally some caramel; it hides the alcohol quite well; good and balanced, but without the malt richness expected from a self-proclaimed Barley Wine.

Dark brown, with a thick head. The imperial stout seems to take dominance here, with a bit of roast, but then there's more sweet dark malt. Light fruitiness. On the palate, good balance because there's a bit of fruitiness, light chocolate, some complex sugars. Fairly bitter, you can tell it's from California. Woody finish. A touch of alcohol to lend balance. Pretty good.

Poured from 750mL bottle (vintage 2022). Black with small tan head. Dry, a bit oaky, some feint bourbon, mild candi sugar, dark fruits, and chocolate malt. Decent.

750mL bottle, pours a deep dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma is full of oak, with lots of caramel malt, brown sugar, and bready malt. Flavour is dry and oaky, with intense oak, dry caramel malt, and bready malt. Definitely not one of the trendier takes on the style, which I appreciate. Dry, oaky and nicely malty. Nice stuff.
