I little lightweight for a barleywine, even for the English style and weighing in at 9% abv. Caramel color, some nutty malt in the aroma. Up front a bit sweet, then mellowing to a caramel malt with moderately sharp hops afterbite, some pepper from the abv. Nothing wrong with this beer, but if you are going to denote something as a winter warmer, it should be a bit more distinctive.

Bottled December 09, so rating set to current average.

Aroma is rich with toffee sweetness initially, becoming fairly sherry dominant and almost vinous late.

Flavor reveals a combination of both vinous sherry and slightly sweet, deeply caramelized malts. The finish is nutty. The vinous notes add nuances of dark cherry, which are pleasant, but definitely overpower. Not meant to age 6 years.

bottled 12/2012

a - poured a two-fingers thick creamy tan head into a snifter that left great lacing and a thick sheet throughout. the body was a bright mahogany color.
s - caramel and toffee with some piney hops underneath.
t - big malty flavors with a hint of hops. a little heat in the finish.
m - bubbly and dry.
o - had some high points but overall it seemed a little conflicted.
