Braxton Labs Bourbon Barrel-Aged Barleywine With Hazelnuts & Vanilla
Braxton Brewing Company - Braxton Covington

Had on tap. Fades from brown to dark brown in appearance, thin tan ring. Hazelnut, vanilla, toffee, cocoa, and bourbon in the nose, not complex but pleasant. Taste is another story, where the booze is really hot, savaging the hazelnut and vanilla, leaving cocoa, booze residue, and mangled dark fruit and toffee in it's wake. Just feels very hot and unrefined, the opposite of smooth, but hey, the flavor are there
