Bottle: #253/454: Served in a Chouffe glass:
Small creamy head. Cloudy dark ruby body.
Aromas of oak, lot of orange/yellow fruit, sweets, hint of typical Barley Wine notes, this smells amazing!
Flavour is freaking awesome: fruit, wood, oak, light chalky, sweet, some marzipan, light bourbon tint, some bitters, vanilla, amazingly flavour!
Great complexity: lot of wood and fruit with a subtle sweetness.
Low carbo, creamy thicker silky sticky mouthfeel, full bodied.
Amazingly tasty!
Bottle. Brown hazy pour with tan head. Malty, bourbon, sweet aromas. Sweet malts, light oak, candy Flavors.
yet another in a series of forgotten reviews on my eyefone. Ferris was there, looking very molestable as usual. This was back in his thinner days - Aug 2013. " Sweet orange, bourbon, brown sugar, lime nose. T: loads of malts, light brown sugar, weak molasses, orange and lightly acidic. Smooth oh so smooth. Retardedly good."
Original rating: Enjoyed at an all barley wine tasting at Travis’s house on February 21, 2015. 750 mL bottle, 2013 vintage. The pour is more of an orangey gold with a nice white soapy head and a couple legs of great lace. The aroma is pretty oaky. There is a good bourbon heat and caramel malt. Underneath is a little bit of hoppiness to go along with a sweet fruitiness. Not dark, but lighter bright fruits. The The flavor is much of the same. There is a little more booze than I was anticipating, but there is a good fruity sweetness, and then back to a little more booze. The mouth feel is a little light and the carbonation helps it stick around a bit before leaving a sweet, hot, toffee-like aftertaste 8 5 9 4 17
Enjoyed again at a small tasting at Ryan’s work on February 27, 2018. 750 mL bottle, number 36/744. 2017 vintage. The pour is a darker brown tinted orange with a thicker khaki colored head and no lace as it falls down to a thick collar. The aroma is nice. There is a light hop to this and a strong malt. The barrel and bourbon come through huge with a nice vanilla after that. I like the balance here. The flavor matches. Much less malty and more oak and malt driven. I like the vanilla additions here. The mouth feel is medium bodied and softly carbonated with a big malty sweetness and a growing oaky vanilla on the finish. Solid. 8 4 8 4 16
