Pours a dark amber-brown with a finger of tan head. Modest retention but a decent crown.
Big apple-cinnamon aroma. Maybe some allspice and wood in the mix, too.
The winter baking spices are all up in the taste, too, but slightly more subtle than the nose suggests. Apple and caramel are in the mix, too, with lingering cinnamon and oak.
Medium bodied with tight carbonation.
The taste comes across a little watered down — especially with something so heavily-spiced. The apple cinnamon definitely delivers as advertised though

Im sampling this beer poured from a 500 ML bottle into my snifter at cellar temperature. The bottle is date stamped for 11/16/2021. I picked it up at the brewery after being in cold storage in mid October 2022. It has been in my cellar since its arrival.
the beer pours a slightly hazy or murky cola brown color. Light passes through only the edges of my glass. Some dense beige head of about 1 cm foams up and this foam fades to a sturdy edge layering that sticks around throughout the sampling.
Aroma is caramel and toffee mixing with a good dose of cinnamon. This is legit cinnamon, not artificial Big Red kinda smell. Just like the spice I added to my vat of cooked steel cut oatmeal this AM for breakfast. There is actually a little bit of an apple note too, I didnt expect that to carry through, but freshcut apple wedges lay behind the cinnamon. A sweeter variety of apple, not granny smith tartness.
First sip reveals a medium body with smooth texture and fine tingly carbonation. Flavor is sweet up front and through and through. I get caramel and some brown bread notes, lots of cinnamon and some light fruitiness again. No hint of hops and the booze is well hidden. This actually tastes like an apple pie. Quite a tasty barleywine, that could be too sweet for some, but I am enjoying this one. Id drink this one again, and wish I had opened it with Thanksgiving dinner as it would fit perfectly there.
