Enjoyed at Lucky Lab Big Beer and Barleywine Festival. This was a blend of different vintages of Roots’ delicious Epic Ale. Poured a deep brown with a nice, thick tan head. Aroma of brown sugar, oak, raisins, cherries and some light booze. Tasted of cherry, brown sugar, oak, booze, caramel, raisins and a very light smattering of earthen hop. Tasty one, nice to enjoy slowly as it was even better as it warmed.

Tap @ Barleywine & Big Beer Fest... This blend of different Epic vintages poured mahogany/brown with a beige head. Smokey, oaky, brown sugars. A great slow sipper. Tiny cloying but not too bad. Leafy, spiced earth qualities. Almost gave off a brandy tone too.
