On tap at the brewery. It pours a deep golden orange color with an off white head. The aroma is very inviting with notes of almond, sherry, and caramel candy. Hints of wood. The flavor is rich and smooth with dark fruity plum, dried apricots, wood and some amaretto. Pleasing bitterness. One of the tastiest barleywines I’ve had in a while.
