Pours a garnet hue with a slight haze to the clarity and a tight, cream-colored band around the shoulders. Nose expresses candied fruit notes, ethanol and a kiss of earthy hops in the background. Taste reveals toffee, fruit and cotton candy; however, it comes off a bit watered down. Mouthfeel is light-medium in body (but closer to light) with a carbonation level that's just a bit too assertive for the style. Texture is a bit watery and there's also some light heat at the back. Overall, a decent American Barleywine; however, I think it's best served fresh as I don't think it has much cellar potential.
