Halfway clear black with reddish edges and a faint tan head that quickly dies to a fluid chain around the rim.
This has a surprising vanilla creme englaise flavor, and is almost stout-like, leaning into Raisinets.
A delicious dessert without being too sweet, this is top tier barrel aged pastry barleywine.
