Draft at brewery. Cloudy amber, skin of head. Caramel Malts in the aroma, sweet. Taste continues the malt flavors, light sweetness, toffee. Very minor hop profile.
Vanilla notes on the nose, vinous taste, clean finish.

This beer is a cloudy apricot color with a medium thick frothy bone white head that diminishes gradually to a film. Stringy lacing. Aroma of herbal hops, tropical fruit and malt. Medium body with flavors of resiny hops, tropical fruit, floral honey and bready malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a fruity hop and honey aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Gold wax-dipped 12 oz. Aroma is Bourbon, caramel, wood, toffee, licorice. Pours hazy brown with a one finger beige head with decent retention. Taste is highly sweet, not cloying, savory, with a lightly bitter finish. Kind of boozy, but not overwhelmingly so. Perfect velvety mouthfeel. Another amazing BA barleywine.

12 oz bottle from Tavour. Pours out like an oil slick, black and flat. Roast malts, smoky. Taste is bitter, ashy, dry. Minor sweetness and a lot of heat. Big ABV, but not a lot of bourbon barrel.
