Full (~10 oz) pour at Pathlight Brewing in Shawnee, Kansas. The pour is dark brown, slight golden red with a minimal tan head. The aroma is big, rich malt sweetness, caramel, the Bourbon and wood of the Barrel and a whisper of alcohol. The taste is big caramel up front, nice rich malt, then the bourbon barrel dries out the finish. The palate is still, heavy to medium bodied with the caramel sweet nicely transitioning to the wood and boozy Bourbon finish. This went down easy, nice Barley Wine.
