A low off-white head on a caramel/amber body. The nose features caramel malt, berries, cherry and a slight metallic edge. A big, slick barleywine. Rich caramel and toffee, solid citrus hops, touches of spice and berries, and sweet figs and dates. A dense rich body with a slightly slick mouth feel.

(Can) Pours black with good dense tan head. Nice aroma of caramel. Great mouthfeel. Full bodied, smooth, a little creamy with fine carbonation. Great taste too. There’s a good caramel sweetness and a steadily growing dark toffee / burnt sugar bitterness, along with more subtle salty notes. There’s some creaminess in the mid palate. Very nice.

Lightly hazy, golden coloured with a frothy white cap, good stay and leaves soapy lacing. Orangy aromas with some clementine fruitiness and hints of yeast. The taste shows some citrus notes over the caramel malt base. Might be getting some diacetyl in the nose after breathing. Thankfully the lightly bitter hops, grassiness comes out to take over and help this one. Orange zest and mild juices are left on the tongue. Not bad, but not close to my favourite West coast, especially not being piney.

Definitely not full bodied, tasted like cherry coke a bit tbh. Had some cake feel in the finish but we're not in pastry stout territory.

Can that pours a dark brown colour with some copper-ruby highlights. The head is big, frothy beige, somewhat creamy leaving some thick lacing. Roasted and caramel malt base with some salty butterscotch notes. The mouthfeel is silky, lightly oily with some decent building dryness in the end. Starts off lightly sweet with the caramel, but the hops do cut this quickly, building up some nice bitterness. Burnt barley is left on the tongue with a tad tart and grassy hop lingering. Could have a little more saltiness to balance the hoppiness. The rest is nice.
