Poured at fridge temp. Pours dark brown - almost black.

Nose is amazing. Toffee, Chocolate, vanilla, walnuts, bourbon. Some raisin and a hint of sherry come through as well.

Taste is boozy bourbon, toffee, figs, plums, walnuts, and tons of vanilla. Fudge brownie comes through as well. Mouthfeel is thick and creamy. This is a really great beer. Can't actually tell which (barleywine or stout) is dominant. They compliment each other so nicely here.
