Tap at the brewery - listed as 13.2% - Clear ruby beer - faint wisp of lace - smell is intense bourbon, vanilla, coconut - you need to like bourbon to enjoy this - good thing I do - flavors of bourbon, vanilla, treacle, caramelized sugars - finish has some alcohol and just the right amount of bitter oakiness - as far as boozy BA barleywines go, this is a winner.
