Pours a hazy chocolate brown in color, an agressive pour cannot summon up even a little carbonation, a few lonely bubbles is all. Aroma is amazing. Sweet sugary aged maltiness smells of raisins and prunes balanced by a leather and woodiness that almost goes chocolate. Big aroma but one that you could keep your nose buried in for a while. Rasisiny in the taste, goes chocolate then vanilla with a nice woodiness hanging in through a good part of the taste. Dry woodiness mixes with a good warmth of alcohol in the finish. Mouthfeel is medium in body, slightly slick feel from the low level of carbonation, little pepperiness before a somewhat dry and decently warming finish. Outstanding barleywine in every aspect. The whiskey barrel ageing adds a nice complexity to the sweet maltiness. Great aroma, taste and feel. Major thanks to Tom for the opportunity.

Two year old properly cellared bottle. Poured into a Nostramus flute. Pours a very dark mahogany amber. Very thin head leaving a thin ring and light lacing. Nice aroma of caramel malt, whiskey, dark fruit and vanilla. Wow. Very nicely integrated malt, whiskey, dark fruit, oak and vanilla. Medium to heavy bodied. Sorry I couldn't compare to fresh, but this two year old bottle is delicious. Absolutey melded flavors with the alcohol well hidden. Superb.

12oz bottle generously shared by DrGonzo3705 (thanks Paul!). This pours murky and dark, with the thinnest of foam on top.

It smells very nice, Flying Dog has barrel aging nailed (with this and the BA Gonzo as my data points). The oak presents with vanilla and maybe a little charred wood, the base beer with caramel and toffee and other barleywiney things.

Sweet and burning, this is very tasty stuff. Lots of malt flavor, the definition of a malt bomb, very little hops lived through the barrel aging. Thick and rich, with little carbonation (although it had some). Excellent, so glad Paul brought this out.
