Poured at fridge temp. Pours a very dark brown with zero head. The nose is clove, nutmeg, light rum, slight black licorice, light chocolate, toffee. Very interesting and definitely different from anything I have smelled.

The taste is awesome. Definitely more on the bitter side. The clove and nutmeg are strong, along with a bit of cinnamon. Now getting vanilla, bitter oak, grass, slight pipe tobacco, burnt toffee, light molasses, black licorice, rum, and a bitter piney hops. So complex and intense. Really loving this one, and it evolves as I take additional sips. It's really fun when a beer is an adventure that changes throughout the glass.

The mouthfeel is medium bodied, with a slightly boozy and spicy aftertaste. Long finish. Overall, a wonderful example of a barleywine/munichwine combo.
