750 ml poured into a snifter
A- A deep ruby red with a two finger white off white head.
S- Apples, caramel, some oak, figs, some vanilla, sweet bready malts.
T- Cherries, apples, caramel, figs, some molasses, sweet bread, some vanilla and oak, finish is a little earthy.
M- Smooth, medium body, carbonation is a little high.
O- A tasty Barelywine on the sweet and fruity side. Pretty complex, excited to see how this ages.

Pours a very dark, ruddy brown with a finger of light tan head made up of tight, small bubbles. The head settles into a nice, long-lasting cap, but leaves no lacing.
Big apple is the first impression in the aroma. That gives way to caramel and vanilla bread pudding maltiness, with hints of fig and banana behind and some even lighter oak.
It's sweet tasting up front, again like bread pudding with strong vanilla, caramel and banana notes. There's less apple and fig than the nose, although the apple at least still does make a presence. The wood is definitely present in the aftertaste, and a nice addition. The sweetness up front is cut somewhat by fairly strong alcohol burn, some earthy bitterness, the oak and a pretty fizzy mouthfeel.
It's medium to heavy bodied and a little chewy, again, with a more well-carbonated feel than most barleywines.
To my personal taste, I'd love to see some leather and tobacco, or maybe a slightly more Americanized hop profile, to cut the sweetness and fruitiness even more -- but the flavor profile is still plenty complex and enjoyable. This beer's a pleasure to spend some time with.
