Botului. Pours clear chestnut, small beige head, some lacing. Aroma is dark sugars, treacle, bourbon, vanilla, praline, apricot, dates. Fucking complex. Flavor is quite sweet, light plus bitter. Medium body. Hell on wheels

I should have ordered more of this! Damn good private press vibes mixed with delicious cellarmaker flavor. Tawny port, chocolate & caramel, hints of tobacco and toffee on the finish.

On tap at Oakland CHoP. Aroma is malt forward and rich with lots of layers of dark, rusted, rye breads, molasses, burnt sugar, dark caramel and toffee, burnt sugar and notes of dark fruits. Hints of chocolate and roast. Fruit. Medium light bourbon notes with hints of oak. Medium light alcohol notes. Pours black with very dark brown hues on the edges and a small, mocha head that recedes quickly to the edges where a faint film lingers. No lacing and sheets of alcohol. Flavor is very sweet with lots of dark caramel, toffee toasted rye bread, crackers, molasses and burnt sugar notes. Lighter notes of dark fruits, chocolate and roast. Medium high bitterness and moderately high alcohol warmth. Light bourbon notes and hints of oak. Mouthfeel is full bodied and a bit silky with low carbonation. Low astringency and medium high alcohol warmth. Overall, a really solid barleywine / munichwine. Really nice, complex malt notes in the aroma and flavor. Solid barrel character that really works well with the malt notes. Alcohol is very present but well carried by the malt profile and body. It's full bodied but not sticky.
