Dark amber in color with thin bubbly light tan head. Hoppy aroma with barley and alcohol. Tastes of caramel and dark ripe fruit with aged oak and a bitter hoppy finish; I didn’t find much bourbon anywhere. Nice carbonation on the palate. Good, but I was expecting more. It is pretty reasonably priced though.

High fruit content due to the choice of quality hops. The vanilla and alch content derive from the aging in burban oak. a long body that ballences well with the full fruit hop that lingers for with a nice caramel ending. rather enjoyable for an american barley wine.

From a 22-oz. bottle from BridgePort BrewPub--Deep ruby color with a small off-white head. Woody, boozy, grainy. Oak and bourbon in the background. Lots of fruitiness on the tongue. Very nice beer and quite affordable.

Bottle: Orange copper color with a smaller beige head. Aroma is thick with caramel sweetness and hints of vanilla. Flavor is moderate on caramel, light toffee, some oak aged notes, and light citrus hops. Very mellow bw. I’d been wanting to try this for a while, thanks to Jordan for packing this home from Seattle!

22 oz. bottle & draft - dark amber with slight haze and quickly fading white head; great nose mix of sweet sugar and malts; chewy texture and has a fruity/hoppy kick to it; more relaxed on draft as the bottle’s freshness is in your face a little; not your standard BW, but i find this delicious; harsh ratings be damned, this is a great beer

Very disappointing given the possibilities of a barleywine aged in bourbon barrels. Pours a classic barleywine ruby copper color. The aroma, while weak, is strikingly hoppy, though - far more so than most barleywines I’ve tried. The taste is acidic, with notes of citrus rind, hops and a bit of the oak from the barrels. The taste of bourbon is disappointingly absent. It’s almost like a boozier version of BridgePort’s IPA with some extra caramel malt thrown in. Very, very ’meh’.
