From a pint can. Pours a clear pale coat with a slim finger of a tan head. Aromas of toffee and bourbon. Flavors are pretty sweet dark brown sugar. Tasty stuff on a snowy day in early March.

16 oz can poured, picked up at Special Brews, and enjoyed on the eve of 40 days of NA, so looking to finish strong. This one is certainly ly strong, but drinks incredibly smooth and easy. Dark and dense black pour. Dark fan foam ring head. Very impressionable barrel notes. Lots of smooth whiskey character, thick body, soft notes of coffee and maple. Late lingering oak. Strong and warming, but doesn't have any unbearable intensity that takes away from drinkability. Maybe the easiest drinking 12%+ BA stout that I can remember. Excellent brew here.

Can. Pours a clear golden hue with a medium white head. A light lemon citrus nose. Smooth, bitter lemons, soft melon sweetness, kind of one sided. Solid.

Draft pour pint at Route 2 Taproom. Clean and clear golden appearance. Very light tasting pale with a crisp front. Mild grassy hop bill. Flavor has some watered down earthy, biscuit grain. Crisp and easy finish. Easy choice on a sunny day.

Waiting for tavour to offer me more varietal barley bois but this'll do! Was wondering what exotic apricots were used in this before reading the description and finding out it was barrel aged, lovely floral and tannic funk. Bit of a sour bite but delish!
Everything one wants in a BA barleywine

16oz can pours a lightly hazy gold with some big white head. Nose has some sticky, dank hop, light grist, light grass. Flavor is a bit meh, fruity and some breakfast cereal. Orange. Finishes OK.
Super ripe peach notes, medium light funk, I expected high acidity but turned out delicious, peach vibes on point
