Sampled at Toronado 2009 Barleywine Festival. This 2007 vintage pours perfect clear amber with thin tan head. It has an inviting aroma with a mix of caramel, molasses, figs, cherries, roasted malts and a bit of alcohol heat. The taste has a very nice mix of molasses, caramel, toffee and roasty malts. By midway figs, cherries and raisins enter the fray creating a pleasing flavor sensation. It also seems a bit earthy from time to time with a sense of floral hops too. Interesting brew. I didn’t pick up any wood notes in the nose or flavor.

Draft. Mahogony brown beer with a thing off-white head. Chocolate, fruity (raspberry), vanilla aroma. Cocolate, vanilla, malty flavors. Lingering bourbon notes. Full bodied. Nice balance. Lots of vanilla and brown sugar. Bourbon is not overpowering.
