Yeah this is intensely sweet but not in an obnoxiously sugary way. Strong molasses and concentrated raisin notes along with plenty of sweet, sweet bourbon make for a joyous riot of barleywine bliss that cleaves relentlessly to the palate. I mean that literally, the body is quite sticky and the flavors linger long at the roof of the mouth and the back of the gums. Absolutely loving this thank you Tim!

Poured at fridge temp. Pours very dark and viscous. About a half inch of brown head. The nose is full of barrel up front. Bourbon, vanilla, toffee, and prunes.

The taste is quite sweet. Maybe a bit too much for me. Definitely getting the bourbon. Complimentary notes include maple, vanilla, graham cracker, brown sugar, and a bunch of dark fruit. The sweetness doesn't really fade with time.
