This is a Barleywine aged in oak wine barrels and very limited and it pours a dark brown hue with average carbonation that leaves behind a fast vanishing one finger head and little lacing,the smell is really dominated by the oak with also some aromas of sweet caramel malts and some dark fruit but mostly oak,the mouthfeel is light-medium bodied and averagely carbonated and on taste its abit of a let down to be honest its just a mix of oak,sweet malts,oak,dark fruit,oak,dark grapes and oak and overall in my mind the ageing of this drop in oak wine barrels has not improved it only taken the attention away from what it is lacking to be a good Barleywine im sorry fellas but its true and would not buy again.
