Pour is a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma is a slight fruit and yeast ester but also a bit of burning. Flavor is pretty nice. I was expecting the worst after the aroma. Nice creamy yeast esters with some banana and a wheat malt with a slight alcohol finish. Pretty spot on for the style and the burning I got at first kind of went away after a while. Solid.

Sampled from the tap at GTMW 2018. Pours a hazy yellow with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a lot of banana and clove supported by sweet wheat and hay. Flavor has notes of sweet wheat, clove, growing banana and a hint of grass underlying.

Tap at Brasserie V., Sweet, odd, waxy cherry aroma and flavor. Definitely not all the way there, lacks finesse, and certainly doesn't taste like an American Barleywine at all. Pretty much an amateurish homebrew.
