At the brewpub, based on Josh Oakes recommendation. I think the 15% label is too low.When they say its 30 proof, its a hint. On the other side you do not taste the booziness until it knocks you over. Unfiltered, it reminds me of a Belgian strong ale. Yeast there, adding to above average mouthfeel. Served somewhat too cold.

Draft… Cloudy, burnt caramel-colored ale. No head. Caramely, fruity aroma. Full-bodied with soft carbonation. Warming alcohol, fruity esters and malty caramel. Sweet, but not cloyingly so. Bittersweet finish with a mild alcohol burn. Nice.

Pours a dark caramel brown, with a smallish light tan head. Smells of dark sweet caramel malts, dark fruits, some bready yeast, and alcohol. The flavor is pretty much the same. The alcohol presence was definitely noticeable most of the way through. Dark fruits and malts coincided to formulate most of its flavor identity, and it seemed like a pretty standard barley wine. was definitely the best ofthe four they had on tap when I visited.
