From a 16oz can:
Appearance: Hazy dark amber, good head.
Smell: Big barrel notes, vanilla, bourbon, rich, sweet.
Taste: Big sweetness-caramel, then transitions to strong barrel flavors of vanilla and wood. Medium bodied, feels a little light for 13%. Wood in the finish.
Overall: Picked up a 2 pack at the brewery. This is a tasty barleywine, very barrel-forward but works well. Surprisingly not “hot” tasting at 13% but big barrel flavors shine through.
