A four component Barleywine blend that weaves two parts double oak aged Barleywine (Weller Reserve and Thomas Handy Rye) with a barrel of our first Bourbon aged Munichwine (Heaven Hill) as well as a Bourbon aged Barleywine (Old Fitzgerald) of incredible depth that aged for two years. Salivating aromas of Tawny Port, cherry cordial, Tahitian vanilla, bourbon soaked dates and chinotto. Paralyzing flavors of maple sugar marzipan, creme brulee, fig, cinnamon raisin pumpernickel French toast and bourbon warmth.

Sweetish and slightly roasty with some maltiness, bourbon, toffee, vanilla, cocoa and coconut. Pretty nice.

Bottle at CBJ tasting, thanks to me. Clear deep brown beer, small bubbly tan head. Light palate for the hefty abv, a very mild dryness and a good fine minerally crispness. Light malts, a little creamy sweetness, good bitter dark toffee. A savoury bitterness into good fruity bourbon. Light and bloody drinkable for its abv, really like the good dark toffee..

0,75l bottle at freunderlwirtschaft, Vienna. Dark brown color, no head. Smells bourbon, vanilla, nutty, spices, light molasses. Nice to very nice one, rather sweet. Full body, light carbonation. Tastes vanilla, nutty, spices, earthy, bourbon. Finishes light to medium sweet with notes of vanilla, nutty and spices. Very nice one, on the sweet side

Reminds me a LOT of adwtd except with sweet munichwine notes blended in, lighter body, and lighter booziness in a good way.
