Hazy dark brown, small, foamy, tan head. Aroma of cooked apple, pear, raisin, date, dried grapefruit peel, tea leaves, peanut, toffee, bourbon, wood. Taste has sweet pear, date & red apple in a toffee- & fruit cake-like malt body with a herbal hint of tea. Dryish, herbal hoppy finish of dried fruits, a touch of coffee and some grapefruit peel, indeed lending that bitter 'American' feel to the Barley Wine profile. Warming alcohol in the throat (somewhere between liqueur and bourbon). Medium to full body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Not super complex but it delivers.
