On tap at Callahan's, in a 12(?) oz. snifter.
A rotating/seasonal release, though it seems to be available much of the time.
The first barleywine I've tried. Very unique and I really enjoyed it. Color is a nice dark brown and has a fairly small but nice thick head. The taste is very strong, with hops, malts, pine, etc. Smell is a fantastic blend of those flavors; I tend to sniff it as much as I drink it. Fairly smooth and goes down well, provided you haven't had too much. The alcohol content is rather high and quite noticable. Even though I usually don't try to consume more than 1 of these (I usually have 2-3 other beers before this), I still consider this quite drinkable.
I usually get a glass of this whenever I go to Callahan's. Probably their most compelling and interesting offering.
