I have had my bottle for some time, not even sure how long. Poured Deep amber, with a off white creamy head. Aroma of earth, wood, vanilla, bourbon. Taste had all plus caramel. The alcohol was present, almost a distraction.

Clear dark amber with a thick beige head. Beautiful aroma of wood, a ton of hops and caramel. Flavor has notes of toasted malt, toffee, wood, caramel, light chocolate and a big dose of hops which works very well in this beer. Pleasantly sweet and as previously stated, plenty of hops to balance it out. Nice warming alcohol presence detected on the back end. Medium/full body with moderate carbonation. Loved it!

Bottle courtesy of BuckNaked. Pours light brown/reddish, with decent off-white head. Aroma and flavor were very muted caramel sweet malt with some alcohol in the finish. Little bland for a BW.

Bottle, poured dark coppery red. Very hoppy aroma for a barleywine, but big malty nose too. Big sweet malty flavors, and some bready hints.
