Poured dark brown color with an average brown frothy head that mostly lasted with excellent lacing. Moderate earthy, malt and alcohol aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Medium to heavy toasted bittersweet flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration.
I would share this with freinds and I did. Cletus (5052), Connecticut, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 14, 2009 Bottle from Total Wine. Pours deep brownish with 1-finger off-khaki head. Nose is malty, oaky, with cherry, feety Simcow hops, fine tobacco, prunes. Tastes dsrk malty, with figgy fruit, dark choc, rauchy cacao notes, heavy hops, nuts, and oaky bourbon. Gets rauchier late, and comes off more imperial stouty than barleywiney as it warms up. A unique barleywine, like mixing half and half chocolate impy stout with a fruity, very hoppy barleywine. blklab2007 (958), Connecticut, USA
