On tap at Vermont Tap House. Williston, VT.
This was poured into a snifter.
The appearance was a dark red/burnt brown color. Slim white colored little head quickly dissipates.
The smell takes in some piney/citrus hops over top of the normal \"dry tobacco/leafy\" to caramel/toffee malts.
The taste, pretty much copies the smell, right on par. Definitely the normal dry aftertaste and quick dry finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a medium on the body with a decent sipping quality about it. Carbonation sits fairly low allowing the tobacco dryness to hit decently on my tongue.
Overall, for the most part, it’s a good barleywine, but American or English, hmmm...I’m kinda left scratching my beard to what style this one leans to. Still, I think I could have again.

Sample glass at Growler Garage.
The appearance was a semi-hazy burnt to ruddy brown color with a nice transparency about it. Carbonation could be seen rising at a moderate pace. No head nor lacing.
The smell started off with burnt to roasty nuts and an adequate sweet dark fruitiness running over some light brown sugar.
The taste was moderately sweet carrying some Belgian spices over on into a delicate roastiness. Light bready aftertaste. Smooth to semi-dry finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation runs fairly light.
Overall, it works as a dubbel. I could see myself coming back to it.
