Bottle: Poured a deep amber color ale with a brown medium size foamy head with OK retention and some lacing. Aroma of deeply caramelized malt with some toffee notes with some barrel notes of vanilla and bourbon notes. Taste is also a mix of caramelized malt notes and some toffee notes and vanilla with nice bourbon notes that are cutting through the residual sugar notes. Body is pretty full with good carbonation with some warming alcohol notes. Enjoyable barleywine with barrels notes that balance some of the more sweet notes.

Bottle at Ryan's
Dark brown colour, no head. Aroma of alcohol and malt. Good body strength; nice malt and chocolate flavour; the alcohol is really scorching, though. It ends like a hot beer.

500ml (thx, Brian C.!) @ Ryan's shared with Farees and Alex. Appearance: very dark copper with a weak beige head. Aroma: sweet, caramel, some oxidization probably. Taste: along the same lines, quite boozy, finished with American oak and bourbon notes. Overall: a bit harsh, but interesting.

Poured from 650mL bottle. Dark brown with minimal beige head. Woody bourbon, mild dark fruit backing, a little harsh booziness, but enjoyable.
