Very boozy, good example of a barrel aged Barleywine, strong characteristics of vanilla, caramel, and malt. Whiskey is as strong as anything else here. Medium bodied, clean finish, lot of boozy heat.

Released 3/8/23; drank 5/1/23 @ the Yarchives.
Opaque brown/orange appearance.
A rough pour yielded a big, noisy tan head; strong lacing remained.
Leather, oak, caramel & raisin notes in the nose.
Thick, sticky mouthfeel.
Caramel, raisin, whiskey heat & leather flavors.
Robust & tasty English Barleywine. I'd have another!
