The Motueka hops are a nice option here for an unaged barleywine, giving some citrus orange notes that balance the malt well, giving the barleywine a solid American style with minimal oxidative notes that can produce more negative qualities through ageing. Amber in color with minimal head or lacing typical for the style, but a full mouthfeel befitting the 12% ABV. Sweeter on the midpalate and finish than I would expect, but maybe it checks out given Behemoth's tendency on other high-gravity styles.
