On tap at La Fine Mousse, pours a fairly clear burgundy / dark amber with a small beige head. Aroma is beautifully complex, with lots of caramel, dark fruits and the perfect contribution from the rum barrels - man, that smells divine. Flavour is complex and rich as hell, with intensely rich caramel, dark red fruits, some stone fruits, and an elegant rum character. Somehow it's not harsh or boozy in any way; though it is sweet (not cloying) and intense, making this a very slow sipper. Beautiful barley wine.
