Can. Im surprised how sharp the hops still are since Ive had this for probably a year or so. Its a good thing too with the heavy malt character this has. The pour is a murky brownish color with streaks of amber and a loose foam on top. The alcohol shows and pushes this on the sweet side with big caramel, brown sugar, and candied fruit flavors. Firm bitterness counters that punch some but the end result is still a sticky sipper Im not sure I like. Maybe its just not a beer to age. Admittedly barleywine is not really my style anymore.

8.4 fl oz can at RBAG 2015. Clear brown color, has a small ring of white head. Typical barleywine nose of caramel and toffee with hop hints. Taste follows with caramel, toffee and hops. Bitterness was medium, late alcohol. A pretty good barleywine, decent balance.

petite can - nose is typical. Sip adds more bitterness than I expect from the style. No overwhelmingly sweet. thats an equation for balance.

Energy drink can poured. Pours a burnt orange color with little head. Gotta love a beer that can easily be passed as a normal beverage enjoyed while driving home. Im kidding. But seriously. No, Im kidding. Or am I? I am. What Im trying to say is, I love the can. Original, which is great. Sweet, malty aroma. Sweet flavor overall, with some candy malt and sugary caramel. Lingering sweet flavor. Smooth considering the alcohol. Overall a good barley wine. Enjoyed this.

8.4oz energy drink size can. Stored in my cellar for a year. Opaque copper brown with creamy tan head. Aroma like a plate of sweet spiced cookies and a hint of booze. Taste is initially hop bitter (even after a year), sticky toffee, alcohol, rum soaked raisins, warming alcohol, and tropical hop finish. I like a good barleywine and this is a good barleywine.
