Hardywood Christmas Pancakes 9.2% 55 IBU Deep luscious black pour with a thick beige foam and some lacing. Seriously huge fresh maple syrup while the spices and honey somehow evoke blueberry pancakes for me. Full bodied with loads of sweetness and a sandpapery mouthfeel. Bitter chocolate, gingerbread, honey and sweet syrupy maple with some floral accents. Not as hugely christmasy as some other Hardywood brews but damn nice stuff.

750ml bottle. Aged maybe? Sweet and oxidized. Too thick. Not good. It was a drain pour for me. None of it meshes. 5 3 5 2 7

Dark copper body, with almost no head. Aroma of caramel, vanilla, milk chocolate, dark fruits, some liquorice. Tastes similar. Moderate oily mouthfeel. Finishes medium boozy, medium sweet, with toffee, liquorice, some dark fruits. This is missing some more richness for a Barley Wine and I also don't get much of the bourbon barrel. Quite sweet and boozy. Score: 7 / 4 / 7 / 3 / 15
