November 2015 bomber shared by AdamC on 7/29/17. Also on tap pretty much permanently at Deep Ellum over the years.
Clear, chestnut-ruby body with a dark beige head atop showing good retention for its age.
Warm malt and soft red fruit tones mix together showing cherry, plum strawberry and light caramel-toffee. Low on any annoying breadiness, excess of alcohol or oxidation (just a minor touch of that). Light peppery phenols is all you get as far as the alcohol here and it never comes off syrupy as far as the malt goes. Very English and quite well-done if you like those types of barleywines (I do, in as much as I like barleywines - which is not at all anymore, really).
Candied orange, plum, strawberry and bright cherry interlaced with dry toffee, raisin and caramel with biscuit, vanilla and pepper on the finish. Definitely some warmth and alcohol but it only serves to balance the malt, which is already nicely attenuated. Low but ample carbonation and a soft, malty texture that belies the specialty malt here. Very nice and has aged gracefully.

Bottle. Creamy white good mostly lasting head. Yellow colour. Moderate malty and hoppy aroma. Strong orange notes. Moderate bitter flavor. Average moderate bitter finish. Oily palate.

Bomber from AFH. 11/2015 Bottle date. looks like caramel syrup. very filtered. no sediment. smells like caramel, chocolate and candy bar. This tastes great. caramel, creamy with butterscotch, old apple, sweet middle, dry oily finish. tasty.
