500ml bottle, 2025 vintage, thanks Craig & Sarah! Cinnamon aroma with notes of molasses, fig, nutmeg, clove, brandy and oak. Pours dark brown with half a finger of tan head that has some retention and a ring of lacing. Starts with fig, molasses, clove and cinnamon flavors as well as having a rich, full body and smooth mouthfeel. Finishes quite smooth but a bit dry with nutmeg, brandy and oak flavors. Very festive barleywine!

Dark brown, some of that rich umami, soft body, good chocolate, chicory, bourbon layers, porcini, this is solid.

16oz can from ABV Public House. Clear, dark amber, thick off-white head, chunky lacing. Malty, earthy aroma, woody. Taste is malty, toasty, brown sugar, woody. Not peaty, per se, but very, very earthy.

16oz can at share courtesy of Douglas88. Golden pour yields a small foamy white head. Piney aroma, spruce. Taste is hoppy, resinous, pine and lots of it.

Amber-brown, slight haze. Thin head. The aroma has some caramel, a bit of alcohol and it's fairly estery. On the palate, it's got some alcohol and that fruitiness. It's not bad, maybe a bit muddled in terms of the alcohol and what to me is a bit excessive ester character.

Poured from 473mL bottle (pkg 10/22/2025; 9% abv). Amber brown with small beige head. Light toffee and caramel malts with feint spices and gentle bitter hopping. Decent. Gives some lighter abv spiced American barley wine vibes.

473mL can. Pours dark brown with a beige head. Dry brown sugar, pastry shells, and nutmeg on the nose. Flavour is pretty dry with a pastry malt backbone, dry sugars, and winter spices. Nicely done for a gimmicky style.

500mL bottle. Pours nearly black with a tan head. Rich roasted malts, dark chocolate, bourbon, dark sugars, and a touch of dark cherries on the nose. Flavour has an excellent roasted malt base, charred wood, burnt sugars, loads of bourbon, and some dark cherry accents. Deep and rich; this is excellent.

On tap at Chuck's - Greenwood. Pours black with a beige head. Tons of rich bourbon, dark sugars, and black liquorice on the nose. Flavour has a great roasty base, spicy Belgian yeast, black liquorice, and a great barrely bourbon character. Excellent.
