Almost clear reddish deep amber beer, small pale tan head. Smooth palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. The malts are light but have a decent depth of caramel with touches of cream and unsweet toffee. The Amarone barrelling brings a nice ripe red wine fruitiness that has a vague touch of port about it, goes well with the malt base. A little barrell dankness on the back end and a touch of alcohol spice. Overall all this a pretty decent and drinkable barleywine.
