Kind of chalky on this one. But there is a nice thick sweet tone here, though an after lying bitterness really does seem to kick in on the backside that switches things up. A nice drinker. Definitely a sipper and could use a bit rounding on some of the rougher edges on it, but it works fairly well.

Had this on cask at the 2010 Firkin Festival.
Barleywine with East Kent Goldings.
This poured a semi-cloudy orange red.
It smelled light with caramel, toffee, burnt malt, eartthy, black tea and sweet honey flavors.
It tasted of toffee mixed with tropical fruits and a ton of Black tea. It tasted like an unsweetened Tropical Black tea, the kind you would get at Grandma's or at a Tea House. BUT that doesn't make it a bad thing.
Good mouthfeel, good drinkabilty.
It was interesting. I have never had a barleywine like it. I would have liked to have tried this one on its own and not the ending of a cask beer festival.
