Described in writing and by the bartender as a “Hoppy English Style Barley Wine,” yet named an Imperial IPA??? I’ll list it as an American Barley Wine since it seems to fit that style rather well.

Appearance: Bloody mahogany with almost purple-red hues. Very attractive. Thick, creamy head that reduces quickly to wonderful light lacing.

Aroma: Vanilla and oak are the predominant aromas. Spicy hops form a background.

Flavor: Matches aroma. Vanilla and oak flavors are very mellow and subdued. Alcohol is well concealed. Rich/semi-sweet vanilla notes are properly balanced with spicy hops. Some subtle dried plum flavors are barely noticeable.

Mouthfeel: Warming, balanced, heavy bodied, spritzy carbonation yet slightly chewy. Only mildly bitter.

Drinkability: High. This is an easy drinker both as a barley wine and in general.

Overall solid, but a bit lacking in depth and complexity. I would also expect more hop presence and bitterness in a beer billed as an IPA.
