Served in a teku glass from the can.
Appearance: Semi hazy amber with a medium bubbles on the body which pours slightly thin creating an orange tinted white head rising roughly one finger's length after a vigorous pour.
Smell: Dank scent of warm brown sugar and hints of chocolate malt.
Taste: Sweet toffee, malty and mellow mocha... subtle sweetness and smooth coffee meets wine feel. Complex brew which I give credit to, but needs a tad more tweaking.
Mouth: Sticky brew which is full bodied, it's also medium to full carbonation leaving a sweet finish which is closer to pineapple and bread.
Overall: Good brew and definitely will hold on to a couple to see how it gets with age. I keep comparing this to one of their previous barleywines (Barely Wine)...as good as this one is might be the only reason this one could use minor tweaking. Salud!
