Bottle shared by ClarkVV--thanks, Clark! A honey-maple syrup with thin cap of beige head fading to a ring. Aroma is candied dark fruit, caramel. Taste is strong toffee, bittering hops. Smooth, relatively thin, soft carbonation, bitter finish. Too bitter. On the plus side, no sign of alcohol re: burn/harshness. On the negative, no sign of alcohol in terms of flavor either.

750 ml bottle shared by ClarkVV. Thanks for sitting on this for a year! Aroma C hops with mild dark fruits. The flavor is fine. A lot of Pacific Northwest hops with the traditional barley wine flavors. Having a hard time finding the barrel.

750mL bottle, undated but bottled late 2022, drunk 12/10/23. Clear amber, small, beige head immediately to ring. Smells like...apples?? Lots of appley yeast character. Not a ton of bourbon (is there any?). Is this heavily hopped? What is going on here? Sweet, bready, caramel and toffee forward with spicy bourbon, that strange apple character and assertive though now-mellowed hops. Bitter hop finish with light barrel and lingering, sweet toffee. Not boozey.
