Semi opaque dark brown - amber beer, a small tan head that lasts precisely no time at all. Soft palate, a mild dryness, modest fine carbonation, fine for this brew. Good malts, a nice creamy sweetness with a good caramel and dark toffee. A wet wood overripe whiskey soaked dark fruits vibe. Touch of oak induced vanilla. Some alcohol spice. The chocolate is quite subtle flavour wise but, provides sweetness and richness. Soft finish. A rich and varied barleywine that is ready to drink now.
