First tried this courtesy of Joey Schlitz a couple weeks ago when we snuck a bottle into a wedding reception. Enjoyed it so much I had to get more. Pours dark brown with tan head. Smell is great and just gets better the more this warms - tart cherries, bourbon, and caramel. Reminds me of some quads actually, such as Pannepot (but with bourbon), or Boulevard BBQ. Flavor matches - sweet, clean tartness, bourbon, leather....Outstanding. I was very skeptical of how this would turn out with brett, as I just didn't think a sour barleywine would be good. But the funk is very restrained and clean. No sweaty socks in here. Body is thick with medium carbonation. A highly drinkable brew. The only barrier I see to drinking endless amounts of this in a session is eventual regurgitation due to high ABV.

Brown pour, yields no head. Unattractive. Aroma was old sweet wood and oxidized malt.
Taste, was all over the place. Plenty of caramel and musty leather and wood notes. Hopping not obvious or all that discernable. Brett didn't really take hold like I would have expected after this amount of extended aging.
Enjoyed this with my baby and friends.

Upset about this one, I was in California and told this was a special gem and hard to find outside of that area so was excited to try it. Overall I would say fairly disappointing and forgettable. Immediate smell of sour fruit and alcohol and the taste was pungent with super sour fruit notes, strong alcohol and an unpleasant lingering of this sour fruit and overpowering alcohol sourness. I typically love barleywines but unfortunately wouldn't want this one again
