Bottle shared at toncatchers "nothing sour, nothing hoppy" tasting. My last one of a short night. Thanks for having me over Dennis. Very good BW with the bourbon element that I enjoy.

Nose of Sour wood, vinious notes, as well as rubbing alcohol and a pinch of sugar. Flavors were primarily sweet with fluffy yet creamy vanilla and a balancing bitterness behind it. Nicely refined indeed.

22oz bottle, thanks Bryan! Nose is super malty, with a plethora of raisins and some dark chocolate. Bold, rich flavor really dominated by that malty raisin character. A nice, stoic presence. Creamy and full in the mouth. Approaches a slightly-aged Hardy’s Ale in it’s sweet malty character. Reminds me the most of Bullfrog Oak Aged Old Toad. Paired with some pineapple, the sweetness is allayed. Bourbon comes through in the finish, and more so as it warms. Nice and really bold, but not as lush and balanced as I had hoped.

Shared by Drewbeerme at Dark Lord. Also got a bottle from NobleSquirrel and another from BA. Pour is brown with an off white head. Aroma is caramel and earthy with some wood. Flavor is wood, bitter hops, caramel and booze. Nice body and easy to drink. I liked this, but may be better down the road.

I’ve decided that I LOOOOOOOOVE bourbon-aged barleywines. Huge thanks to Andrew for the end of this bottle, it was unbelievably delicious. With lots of sweet carmel/toffee/bourbon notes blending just beautifully with the malty sweetness of the underlying barleywine.

Thank you "hannont"! Colour... brown with a hint of red at the bottom of the glass. Nose... Bourbon, toffee, sweet malt, vanilla. Palate... dark brown sugar, molasses, more Bourbon, oak, plenty o’ vanilla, zante currants, raisins and a delightfully enveloping mouthfeel.

Bottle, thanks to WeeHeavySD for sharing! Pours a dark reddish-brown with a white ring. Sharp-sweet aroma, of malt, dark fruits, brown sugar, wood, and herbs. Rich sweet taste, of malt, wood, molasses, sugar, bourbon, and alcohol. Big lingering sweetness. Very very nice.

Bottle. Lots of vanilla, sweet fruits, oak, and bourbon. If it were a little less sweet it would be damn near perfect.
