Bottle at CBJ, thanks to me. A light haze on this amber beer, small cream colour head. Airy smooth palate, pretty light for the style, good fine carbonation. Soft caramel and cream malts. Nice bourbon barrel action, forward coconut, light but tasty bourbon soaked fruits, a little bourbon spice. Airy smooth finish leaves a long spicy linger. Very much a barleywine that serves its barrel, nothing wrong with that. Very light and very very drinkable.

16 oz can from Magnify, via delivery, 6/24/25. 103 degrees outside, it's stout weather yo! Pours a dark brown color with a medium brown head. Roast, dark chocolate, and earth. Drinks fairly dry. Not particularly boozy. Pretty good overall.

16 ounce can from Wegmans in Princeton. Amber gold pour. Pillowy beige head. Bready malt aroma has toffeeish notes. Flavor hints at rustic bread and toffee. Some herbal hop notes on the backend. Dry hoppy finish. I miss Anchor Steam and this is a faithful representation of that classic brew.

On tap at The Star & Garter, Bromley. Nose is chocolate peanut butter spread, digestive biscuit, creamy coffee, caramel. Taste is much the same, spot of cocoa in the background. Nutty malty aftertaste.

Aromas are a not quite balance blend of sweet malt, citrus hops, a little old resin. Flavors are similar to nose, orange comes forward and some lumbar. A little too sweet for me.

CBJ bottle share, thanks to Cloin for the can. A light haze on this paleish gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Light palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Light malts, a light creamy sweetness. Soft cooling pine. Mild hop spice. Light slightly ripe citrus. Mild bitterness and hop spice on the light and semi dry finish. Tidy.
