Dated 4-14 and numbered 895. Poured into a snifter. The aroma is sweet, dark alcohol soaked fruits, and some oak/vanilla notes from the barrel. The taste starts out sweet, boozy, malty but the finish is much different with a big dose of bitterness coming in from the hops. This beer is listed with 118 IBUs so the finish does not come as much of a surprise. It does not have the bitterness of a 118 IBU beer, but the high amount of malt sweetness helps balance out the hops. The mouthfeel is medium-full bodied. Overall, a solid barleywine. If feel like the large dose of hops takes a lot of the barrel away from the beer as the hops dominate a good deal of the finish.
