4.61/5  rDev 0%
look: 3.75 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.75 | feel: 5 | overall: 4.5
Appearance: Very dark brown, Small head that fizzes out.

Smell: Pretty strong vanilla and wood, bit of booziness.

Taste: Thick and coating from the start. Vanilla from the barrel is strong, backed by a moderate caramel/toffee sweetness. Just super thick and coating, big beer. Finishes with more caramel and vanilla along with a bit of alcohol twang.

Overall: Saw this on the Alluvial website and was intrigued. Picked up a bottle before the ISU game and brought it back for tasting. Really heavy body and really nicely flavored, one of the better BA barleywines I've had. Might have to grab another if they still have them in a couple weeks!
