750 mL bottle poured into a snifter.
Appearance - Very deep amber. Quite dark for a barley wine. Medium khaki head.
Smell - Some bourbon. Vanilla. Equal dose of hops. Grapefruit.
Taste - Vanilla, bourbon is muted. Aggressively hopped, it seems. Slightly nutty malts. Bitter grapefruit.
Mouthfeel - Strong hop bitterness. Medium carbonation.
Overall - Too hopped to pair well with the barrel character.
