On draft at Prado location. Pours a pretty red-amber with an off-white head. Nose is malt, toffee, cherry, and slight cardboard. Flavor is similar with nice sweet malt and toffee up front, cherries and slight fruit in the mid, and then a bit of oxidation in the finish. The waitress told us that this keg had been aging for about a year. Medium in body for a barley wine.
