I had the cask conditioned version of this new (per the brewmaster) barleywine. It poured a clear chestnut body with red highlighting and a creamy beige head. No lacing. The aroma’s a sweet caramel blended with bitter nuts and alcohol. Dangerously smooth to dring, the strong ABV being well hidden. Somewhat thin. It tastes of caramel with a light fruitiness, alcohol, and a mild citric bitterness that lasts into the finish. Pretty decent offering.
