12 ounce bottle thanks to hershiser2! 9/1/22. Hazy amber, medium tan head average retention. Aroma of toffee, vanilla, raisin. Taste is toffee, raisin, vanilla, stone fruit, booze, piney hops. Full bodied, boozy, strong bitterness. A bit of a wreck, but in a good way. Nice beer.

12oz bottle pours a clear amber with some snowy white head.  Nose has malt, raisin, caramel, some port, some booze, a little orange.  Flavor is sweet and smooth, caramel and toffee, orange, soap, pine, raisins, dates.  Finishes full bodied with some astringency that felt like bitterness that could have been booze.  Lacks some pop but very smooth drinker.  7 4 7 4 13

12oz can. Poured a clear dark copper color with a fluffy, medium sized off-white head. Aroma was big barleywine - wheat wine heat, caramel malts. Dried fruits. Flavor was dried fruits, hop bitterness. Mild hop resin. Super drinkable for a fresh barley wine.
