Dark, slightly hazy and pungent light tan, golden and blonde coloured body with a thick, three to four centimetre tall off-white and tan head. Aroma of rich alcohol, yeast, syrup, resin, deep hops that show some grassiness as well as pine notes, but quite a bit of sweetness and alcohol, both. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong syrupy and resinous flavour shows at first with a lot of residual sweetness showing some honey as well, but the hops do show up, just don't add to much of the alpha acids and bitterness, but some nice robust flavours in addition to the plentiful malt and quite pungent alcohol here, of course. Aftertaste shows the rich malts at first, but then some relatively clean metallic and astringent flavours with a heavy layer of sweetness from the resin, honey and sugars that leaves this still full-bodied and rich, but slightly approachable. Overall, a nice and super rich beer, as expected, with a ton of sweetness and malts, with perhaps a little less complexity than I expected, but a pungent beer for sure without too much astringency or pungent flavours or characteristics. A nice beer and a good one to sample, but the format that I got, a full 75 cL bottle is just plain stupid and no human (or even group of humans) can easily drink this. I sampled this 75 cL bottle purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 22-December-2015 for US$11,69 sampled at my house here in Washington on Christmas Day 2020, 25-December-2020, just over five years after purchase and after the vintage.

Hazy gold - amber beer, good cream colour head. Smooth softish palate, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation on the backend. Airy malts, very light and sweetish malt cream underpinned by a mildly bitter caramel. Piney dried fruits and a hint of hop spice. Touch of brandy towards the smooth finale. I’m pleasantly surprised by this blonde barleywine, I normally find them a bit of a letdown but this one is smooth, layered and its drinkability is hazardous!

Bottle. Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a small white head. Has a fruity malty spicy caramel aroma with hoppy hints. Sweetish malty spicy caramel hoppy flavor. Has a sweetish malty spicy caramel hoppy bitter finish.
