Pretty sure this was a 16oz pour, but it might have been 12oz. This batch was pretty good! Nice caramel and light toffee. Very smooth for the 10.4 abv. Light citrus. Perhaps a touch light on the robust caramel and booze you'd often find in a barley wine. Would very much drink again. I know this place is a bit overlooked these days from the beer rating world, but some of the brews, this in particular, were well brewed and fantastic.
