April 2025 bomber drunk 11/26/25. As pictured.
Prune, vanilla, toffee. Another that is very barleywine-like. No distinct bourbon, but it's certainly there. Spice, vanilla, mild oak. No alcohol but lots of caramel, prune, raisin.
Malty, sweet, rich and caramelly. Very barleywine-like with zero roast, no fudge and little chocolate. Lots of dark fruit with a syrupy texture and rich bourbon spice. Tons of vanilla and toffee lingering with peppery alcohol and licorice , but no alcohol heat. It's mostly balanced enough but the alcohol ends up doing most of the drying, which I don't love. A bit too sweet overall. Gave this one 7 months in the cellar and it's nowhere near ready to drink. Pretty frustrating.
