Can from Tavour. Pours hazy gold with a transient white head. Aroma of tropical fruits, citrus and a bare hint of rye spice. Med body. Flavor is pale stone fruit (peach?), melon and citrus with discernible rye spice. Nice touch. Very pleasing flavor.

Tasting at Phill's, bottle
(some details got lost) Sweet, full bodied, with indeed lots of perfumy adjuncts; between the lack of malt depth, and the dominant adjuncts, it's difficult to detect a Barley Wine, but it's a good Strong Ale.

The pint can pours with an opaque dull gold to slightly copper colored body that supports a nice lasting near white head of foam that leaves behind spotty lacing. The aroma pushes out notes of tangelo, tangerine, grapefruit and a bit of thin soft mango. The taste delivers a pleasing pulse of tangy citrus hops that run from ripe tangelo to a blend of tangerine and grapefruit. To midway a bit of soft mango and melon with a sliver of strawberry join in and help take this to the finish. Wow, this is balanced, tangy citrus and smooth goodness. Nice offering where the ABV is very well hidden as well.

750mL bottle, pours a hazy dark reddish amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out coconut upfront, followed by caramel, bready malt, and a touch of cinnamon. Flavour is loaded with both coconut and cinnamon upfront, followed by bitter resinous hops, caramel malt, and bready malt. Finishes somewhat boozy and bitter, with plenty of coconut. When you add these adjuncts to a barleywine, it sort of loses the barleywine character, but it's still very tasty.

Pint can pours with a dirty opaque copper to dull gold colored body that supports a white head of foam. The aroma offers up an inviting load of mango, peach, tangerine and a dash of grapefruit peel. The taste delivers tangy mango to peach depth with a nice wedge of grapefruit like citrus hop bitterness. To midway the citrus to tropical fruity tanginess deepens and by the finish it pulls a mild sense of cracker malts. This is pushing all the right buttons. Wow. Lovely.

Pint can(s) pour with an opaque dull gold to copper body that supports a full head of off white foam. The aroma offers up clementine and tangelo blended with lesser amounts of mango and cantaloupe. The taste delivers a pleasing balance of tangy sort of hop bitter tangelo to clementine to tangerine citrus hoppy goodness mingling with thin layers of soft sweet juicy mango and faint cantaloupe. This delivers a great balance and keeps far away from becoming too sweet like many offerings like this. Terrific and dangerously drinkable. Love it.

Pint can pours with a deep dark colored body that supports a full mocha colored head of foam. The aroma offers up rich Ovaltine chocolate milk and then some modest nutty notes and really no sense of the ABV. The taste is straight up rich smooth chocolatey milk with thin slivers of various nutty notes. This is really nice and dangerously drinkable to the point that maybe the ABV is a typo. This taste like a rich 7% ABV stout. Great chocolate goodness from front to back. Solid brew.
