Pours hazy, translucent honey-golden with a nice ivory head. Aroma delivers strong fruity, mainly pear and berry notes plus a malty hint. Fruity flavor delivers apple, pear, malty and subtle woody notes. Mouthfeel features OK body and fizz. A grand illumination.

This one poured a copper color with a small tan head. The aroma is caramel, cherries, alcohol, and a hint of citrus. The flavor is somewhat sweet with some dark fruits like raisins present. There is also a citrus presence with this one. The alcohol is noticeable but not overwhelming. Overall a very nice barleywine.

Thanks Immy: This at least isn’t a cop out barleywine. I’ve had a streak of really timid big beers lately. This one is big, syrupy, hoppy enough to be American, but not a hop monster and it warms on its way down but doesn’t burn. It’s not harsh. It’s balanced. Caramel, banana and mango fruits. Pretty tasty.
