Thanks Adam M for the bottle. 2012 (woodford barrels) edition enjoyed at 60F in a wine glass
A - Burnt amber hues, light head fades fast
S - I can smell sweet booziness on the pour from 2 feet away. Loads of very sweet nectar of bourbon. Drank some Woodford Reserve before pouring this and there are a lot of similarities in the sweetness, oak and coconut.
T - WOW. This is something really special! It is a very sweet beer but the oak, smoke and brown sugar balance it out. There’s a toffee taste with hints of caramel and vanilla sweetness at the finish. This lingers for a very long time after finishing.
M - Decent carbonation on the mouth swish, heavy body...heavy swish leads to a cotton candy taste
O - This is a fantastic beer! Not my favorite barleywine bt wow.

12oz can poured into a shaker. Pours a mostly clear palecaramel gold with minimal head. Aroma of corriander and spice with some light citrus. Taste is light sweet. Follows aroma with the addition of some dark wheat and more citrus with a little clove. Light bodied with a slightly sticky texture. Very lively carbonation and a decently long finish. Overall, good. Another great beer from revbrew.
