Finally getting around to rating this one. This was awesome. I must have had about 6 samples of this strong beer at Strange Brew 09. Awesome nose. Smoke, cherry, peppers, sweet underlying malt. Extremely interesting nose. Dark red pour creamy foam on top here and there. Lots of pepper and smoke, sweet fruity malts, the cherries shine through in the finish. Drinks nicely all things considered. So much going on, but still harmonious. These dudes are awesome.

Draft at Strange Brew. This is the 2009 or "Count Elkula" version of the barleywine. This one has smoked malt, sweet red peppers, and cherries added. Murky, opaque dark rubied amber/brown with big sweet pepper and cherry nose. Not too many beers smell like this; you really have to smell the combination for yourself to get the full effect. Creamy, spicy, sharp, tangy, sweet mid-palate. A bit of boozy bite but still very coherent.
