4.47/5 rDev +6.9%
look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5

On tap at the Weyerbacher feature night at Rattle N Hum. Snifter.

Pours a dark amber, transparency is difficult to ascertain in the light. Almost no head, but a thin collar sits on top. Nose has rich toffee and caramel notes, loads of big sweet maltiness but not overdone. Taste follows suit, heavy maltiness, toffee, caramel, dried dark fruits, some alcohol in the finish. Alcohol lends some character and warming qualities to this; full bodied and a great mouthfeel. Sticky finish with an appropriate and far from cloying feel. Damn good barleywine.

Serving type: on-tap

A - brown with nice 2 finger head which settled down, limited lacing

S - Great smell - sweet bubble bum with alcohol and vanilla

T - spectacular! great barrel taste with some vanilla, limited hoppiness for an ale but that's ok for an 11% abv, a fact that came through very clearly

M - heavy and thick, awesome

O - frigging great - the type of beer that you usually can only taste at a beer festival - so thankful they bottled this!!

3.96/5 rDev -5.3%
look: 3.75 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.75

12 ounce bottle poured into a snifter

A: dark cola, ruby red color, cream colored head and small bottles on the side

S: deep dark fruit, sweet cherries, plum, vanilla

T: similar to the smell, dark fruits, figs, raisins, cherries, vanilla, mild tropical hops, lots of hot booze

M: nice creaminess, but this is a sipper.

This is a very complex beer. There is a lot going on and it all works well together.
