Glossy black with pretty much no head to conceal its burnt brown edges.

I immediately thought this was a hefty BA vanilla stout upon first whiff and sip, but apparently the barleywine, coffee and barrel combine in such a way that they emulate something not far off from Marshmallow Handjee.

After this, salted caramel comes out to match the solid levels of mocha accented by a little char, which even at times gives off hints of cinnamon.

Most excellent.
