This one pours a dark and murky brown color, with a small head, and no lacing.
This smells like dried cherry, plum, and raisin, port, earthy malt, caramel, and praline.
The port barrels are absolutely dominant here, in a pretty good way. There's loads of dark fruit - grape filling, leather, tobacco, chocolate, plum, and raisins, with some oak. There's also an intriguing earthy malt sweetness, and a touch of caramel.
This is medium bodied, with absolutely no booziness, or hint of the very high ABV. There's a fairly low level of carbonation here.
OEC is seemingly never going to make that big old oaky caramel and spirit driven barleywine that's the rage nowadays in some circles. They're gonna keep making weird, archaic, and arguably delicious takes on the style.
