Good Barley wine. Not as good as Bullfrog's Old Toad, but good.

750 ml corked and caged bottle. Date is confusing - says 2010 Expedition, but I bought this bottle this year, so I don't think it's that old. I have no idea. The bottom of the cork was a bit deteriorated and there is a thick sediment layer, so maybe?
pours a muddy brown color, no head whatsoever, just a few bubbles. rich malty aroma - raisins, tobacco, dark cherry, brown sugar. similar in the flavor, but not overly sweet. body is thin to medium, very low carbonation.
overall - not bad, sort of like a poor man's JW Lees

From the 650 ml bottle received as a gift from a non-BA member. 2010 batch. Sampled on June 27, 2015.
Gorgeous chestnut reddish pour.
Full barley and caramel malt aroma even after 5 years. Roasted peat moss and sweet.
Full body.
The taste is delightfully malty, sweet, and mellow with aging.
