A - pours a ruby brown caramel color
S - barleywine nose with loads of caramel malts - a little fruity and some toffee as well
T - starts off with some caramel and sticky toffee. Some fruitiness is mixed in from the belgian yeast throughout the middle. Caramel shows back up in the end with a touch of cookie malts. REALLY nice barleywine here.
M - per my notes "good to me"
D - really nice offering from Founders in the glass here. Good take on the barleywine - the belgian yeast added some uniqueness to it that worked really well. If you have some of this in your cellar, open now because I don't know how it could get any better.

The pour is a murky amber color with a small off-white head. Aromas of caramel, sherry, and overripe dark fruits. Also seems to be some toffee, bread, and oxidation. Surprisingly, there are still some hop notes to the flavor. Plenty of sugar and malt flavors, mostly caramel and toffee. Sherry-like oxidation and plenty of fruit character.
