Poured on-tap at the Tampa Bay Brewing Co brewery in Ybor City. The beer was served in a chalice, and it pours a crystal-clear ruby-red coloring with a thin film coating of head. Supersweet roasted caramel aromas, with a slight brandy smell. Flavors are pungent and strong, riding a full and round body that is slightly slick and oily. Flavors are rich honey, caramel, and booze. There is a slight smokiness to the aftertaste, and the booze becomes astringent, making the finish rather sharp, and a little harsh. Great flavors, but definitely a sipper, as most Barleywines are. Very rich and very tasty!

Pours a deep amber color with a small light tan head that leaves some light lace. This version is 10%
Aroma is malty good caramel notes is the highlight of this beer, some deep citrus under the malt, Don't believe I have ever smelled a BW this muted before.
Taste is loads of malt caramel American BW flavors without the big American BW hops. Some deep citrus bitterness that mingles with the caramel malts kind of like a 5 year Bigfoot without the complexity. Taste is a touch better then the nose but can't imagine anyone tasting this and saying its good this brew a bunch of this mediocre BW.
Mouthfeel is nice though big medium almost to chewy level good malt backbone.
Overall a drinkable beer its strong and malty but not the complexity or hops of a good BW English or American. Wouldn't or couldn't recommend trying this unless you just want some big ABV's

Night out with Bro and Sis to celebrate Bessie's birthday. Had a taster of this at the bar.
