Purchased at Valkyrie Brewing in Dallas WI; enjoyed at a fancy lodge near Chetek, WI. I was blown away that the brewery had bombers of this available for sale, looks like it hasn't been available in quite a while. Appearance is like an old fashioned, burnt amber with a very small white ring. Aroma of molasses, maple syrup, sugar, light cherries. Taste is sweet and tart, light burn going down, syrupy aftertaste. Overall I'm not a huge fan of the style but feel this is an above average barley wine.

Purchased at Valkyrie Brewing in Dallas, WI; enjoyed at home on the last day of a WI based quarantine vacation. Appearance is pitch black with a billowy tan head. Aroma of light licorice, chocolate, lightly hoppy, overall pleasant. Taste is lightly spicy, licorice does come through a bit thanks to the light star anise, lightly sweet, dark chocolate notes. Overall enjoyable but nothing groundbreaking.
