From the start, the aroma is sweet and volatile. The taste is sweet and volatile as well. Somewhat cloying. Probably could be aged to bring out more civility. Needs more manners. Although very barleywine like, there is some goodness upfront before it gets in yer face. Just a big strong ale with lots of sweetness in there. If you like strong ales, forget my rating numbers. Not one of my favorite styles but this seems on style for what it is.
