Poured dark brown with a thin khaki head. Nothing but bourbon on the nose, but in a good way. Taste is similar, with notes of dark malts and fruits with vanilla. As with a lot of American barley wines, it's very hoppy. Mouthfeel is a little thin, but still on par with a lot of the other barley wines people enjoy. Label says 13.5%, but it drinks like 15%+. Overall, I'd say it it's worth the price of admission, but could use a little time for the booze to mellow out and the hops to fade. Can't wait to try it again in a year or so.
