on tap-pours an off white head and anber color. Aroma is tart fruit, then some bourbon/oak, sweet medium malt-toffee. Taste is sour/tart fruit-plum/prune, sweet medium malt-toffee, yeast. Nice for the style, but not my taste.

Poured up at the 2010 Toronado Barleywine Festival with deep copper body and tan head. It has a vinegary, sweet garden salad, buttered bread sort of aroma to go along with forehead sweat and funky body odor sourness. Interesting to say the least. The taste is modestly sour growing into a dryness into the finish with red wine grapes. I get notes like cherries mixing with a moderate level of slushy aged sweet malts leading into a dry and crisp finish. At first I didn’t think I was going to like this but after a few ounces I’m really starting to enjoy it. Refreshing.
