Bottle. The pour is a caramel. The aroma is all sweet up front, some toffee. The taste is not as big as the nose. Sweet, but nice.

UPDATED: MAY 23, 2013 On tap at their taproom. Overall, lots of barrel characteristics in this! The rye does shine through adds a nice malty and comfortable alcohol feel. For 14.4% this is easy to drink. What a balanced and great tasting Barleywine. With age this would shine.

3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Just not my style of beer, but still glad to snag a couple of bottles of this. Pours a dark brown with mid-sized, thick head that very slowly dissipates. Aromas include sweet malt, ripe fruit, booze/liquor, some woodsy notes, and caramel and coffee. Flavor is very sweet with quite a noticeable liquor flavor/element to it. At first, I was tasting some licorice, then caramel, vanilla, rye whiskey, and toffee. Very smooth with a long-lasting finish. Think I’ll let my second bottle age a bit more...

750ml, thanks Bvery! Pours reddish brown with an off-white head that fades to a ring. Aroma is big time molasses, booze, dark fruit, brown sugar, and fig. This hides the 14.4% very well. Taste is bourbon, brown sugar, fig, over-ripe fruit and toffee. Very tasty and quite warming. Delicious and dangerously drinkable.
