Reviewed from notes.
On tap at the brewery.
Poured into a snifter.
Appearance: dark ruby almost dark brown color with a quarter finger of white foamy head which quickly dissipated then barely left any lace
Aroma: dark fruits, vanilla, caramel/toffee malts, sweet coffee, sweet leather, sweet wood
Flavor: copies the aromas pretty sweet with a dry finish of the dark fruits, malts and sweet wood
Texture: medium to full bodied, great sipper; some smoothness but comes with a cost of some dryness
Overall: nice English barleywine worthy of coming back to.
