Dark brown, no head. Really nice aroma, vanillins, soft dark sugars and light fruitiness. Deep fruits on this, touch of vanilla, some barrel heat, good complexity.

375ml bottle pours out cola brown topped with a small head. Nose is nice sweet caramel toasted malts brown sugar some pitfruit and bourbon barrel notes. Taste is more of the nice sweet malts bourbon barrel kick and a little vanilla.

On tap at the Jack London CHoP. Aroma is rich and malty with layers of caramel, burnt sugar and toffee. Some toasted bread, chocolate, treacle and hints of roast and nuts. Light oak and bourbon notes. Medium light alcohol notes. Pours dark brown, almost black with a small, thick, creamy, light mocha head that recedes fairly quickly to the edges where it lingers. Flavor is fairly sweet with a huge malt character. Tons of caramel, toffee and burnt sugar with lighter notes of toasted bread, chocolate, treacle and nuts. Medium bitterness and medium alcohol warmth. Light notes of raisin and date. Light bourbon and faint oak notes. Mouthfeel is full bodied with low carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid barleywine. Nice barrel and malt notes. Very Rick and complex malt profile. Fairly boozy, but not in a bad way. Solid bourbon and oak notes.

Draft. Blackish beer with a tan head. Caramel and dark fruit aroma with light bourbon and brown sugar. Vanilla and caramel flavor with bourbon and brown sugar. Medium bodied. Vanilla and bourbon linger with brown sugar, dark fruit, and toffee/caramel.
