Waxed bomber from Tavour. Pours dark, nearly opaque mahogany with a tan head that fizzed away. Aroma of very roasty malt, brown sugar notes, rye spice notes and hints of non-bourbon booze. Full bodied. Flavor is sweet demerara sugar, heat, rye spice, and something other than rye in the whiskey sense. Not dry, but not sticky (close tho). Balance from heat and rye spice. Extremely good flavor.

375ml bottle from Elizabeth Station. Vintage 2016. Pours a clear dark amber with a tan head. Aroma is sweet with bourbon, candied fruits, some chocolate notes. Taste is similar, very sweet, with toffee notes. Bourbon and chocolate aftertaste. Still a little bit rough and probably needs some more time on the bottle, but it’s very nice beer anyways.

Hazy red-amber color with small head. Aroma of vanilla, bourbon, alcohol. Rich malt flavor, some fudge; moderately sweet, also because very boozy, therefore the body is lean, some bourbon.
Not elegant, not unique, just a good, boozy, Barley Wine.

375mL bottle, pours a deep dark mahogany with a small beige head. Nose brings out lots of caramel, toffee, bourbon barrels, some wood, and sweet red fruits. Flavour is quite boozy but very complex, with lots of wood, bourbon barrels, alcohol and caramel. Boozy, but not too hot in a detracting sense. Complex and well-rounded. Excellent. --- Beer merged from original tick of Barley Wine - Barrel-Aged (Whiskey & Rye Whiskey) on 03 Jul 2023 at 02:55 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 8 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 8.5. Original review text: Bottle pour at 7 Seas - Tacoma, pours a cloudy bright orangey amber with a small beige head. Aroma reveals big barrel notes, specifically the spicy rye whiskey, along with dark dried fruit and big caramel malt. Flavour is rich and complex, with lots of deep caramel malt, toffee, dark fruits, and just enough barrel character to round things out. The rye only imparts a light spiciness. Carefully calibrated for such a big boy without being too brutal. Excellent.
