I know my history with this series and I have always found them too heavy on the booze in that barrel prior. However, when I saw this at my local place on discount for $5 A 375ml bottle I had to at least take a chance at this, new to me, barrel version. What I forgot is that even though I did not think that a tawny port barrel could be so strong and brutally overwhelming as a bourbon or ever wine, I don't like tawny port for all the reasons that I wouldn't like it in my beer. I am a fan of vintage port but tawny port is the opposite. Tawny port is meant to bring out aromas and flavors of age an oxidation. Well, these flavors make me run from a barleywine, nowadays. And somehow they still manage to make it such a strong aroma. Couldn't most of the bottle.
