4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle shared courtesy of RLB (thanks!). Poured a darker reddish/brown color with an above averaged sized off white head. Smells like a nice aged barley wine - vanilla, earthy, light smoke, and caramel. Tastes of the same with dark fruits, brown sugar and very light alcohol (no where near the 11+ %).
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours a deep bopper amber with a nicely-lacing, frothy tan head. Aroma has some subtle toasty caramel and good piney hop balance. Body starts full and malty with some good dark caramel and nice hop balance. Has some light fruitiness and enjoyable complexity. Hides the abv very well.
