Tart, woody, vinous, a bit of fruity but sweet sugars, like if you diluted and fermented pomegranate molasses. There'�s good complexity here but it'�s not necessarily hitting for me.

Deep gold but sort of dull. No haze, though. No head. Ok this is lactic, acetic and buttery. All the bugs and it comes across too sour and ropey. Barrels are more neutral, this is odd and I'�m not sold on it.

Can. Pours a clear golden hue with a medium white head. A smooth citrus nose. Mild bitterness, sweet resin, definitely a Block 15 IPA, resin, pine, smooth.

500mL bottle, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out bright peaches, apricots and plenty of hops — with a touch of bourbon. Flavour is unfortunately very bitter, with plenty of apricot upfront, a touch of peach, light acidity, and alcohol. This is hard to recognize as a barley wine, given the bitterness and fruity acidity. This is just strange. I don't think it ultimately works.
