Knock, knock. Who's there? Door shards and knockers in your face! This beer doesn't wait to be let in. Dark as night but scarier. Barricade your palate and batten down the hatches cause Olde Battering Ram is coming.

500ml bottle poured into a snifter
A- pours black with some light creeping through, small foamy off-white head that reduces to a ring around the edge
S- smells of slightly charred malt with some piney and herbal hops. Chocolate and husky grains, some oak bourbon Barrel
T- piney and earthy hops mixes with black charred malt, oaky bourbon with some caramel, roasted finish
M- medium body with low carbonation leads to a foamy mouthfeel and finish
O- hops and barrels are hard to pull off, drinkable but might be better with age

They say this is a Barley wine but it doesn't taste much like one.
