4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Tap @ brewery. Slightly orangish red with a small, tight head that lasts and leaves great lacing. Has an aroma of candy sugar and dark ripe fruits like cherries, honey, raisin, and cereal grain maltiness. Big huge flavor profile of figs, caramel, slight cocoa, raisins, and toasted barley. Very nice and winterfull.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 9/20
Tap @ brewery. $8 for a 10 oz? I could get a Kuhnhenn Bourbon Barrel Barleywine for that price and size. Oh well. Dark maroon appearance with a medium sized, tan head. Really an earthy, organic, light caramel/toffee, fairly interesting nose. Slightly light bodied, moderately boozy, caramel, dark fruity, highly earthy, organic flavor. Not a whole lot going on and the booze is noticeable. Probably will skip this on future visits.
