22 oz. bottle, brought to Ale Alpharetta by John. Pours hazy, light orange, with a big, frothy, beige head. The nose is butterscotch, sweet cherries, vanilla, white chocolate, and light toasted oak. Very sweet flavor, practically no bitterness, and just a hint of tartness. Very heavy body, with a creamy, smooth, and luxurious mouthfeel. The alcohol is not hidden, so much as revelled in. Glorious nose and wonderfully cloying flavor. This is an immense and delicious treat of a beer.

Pours somewhat hazy bittersweet with a thin pale buff head. Fruity aroma presents cherry and apple notes plus malty hints. Flavor attacks the palate with bold fruity - cherry, apple, pear, subtle banana - and woody tones, letting the drinker knows this is a barleywine! Texture pleases thanks to firm body and good fizz. Down the hatch!

On tap at the brewhouse as part of a flight of everything they offered! Clear-ish amber with full, billowy white head. Head lingered down the glass....a beauty! Massive cherry through both the taste and aroma with moderate sourness (tart). Patterns continued down the glass with a full head throughout. This was a fantastic beer!!

UPDATED: JUN 23, 2015 Poured from a bottle. Aroma is malty with some caramel and burnt sugar. Light honey notes with a bit of oak. Medium light fruit notes with cherry being the most prevalent. Pours a murky, slightly reddish brown with a small, moderately thick, slightly off white head that recedes to a thin film that lingers. Medium lacing and moderately long legs. Flavor is fairly sweet with a bit of a tart character from the fruit. Some moderate caramel and burnt sugar notes. Light honey. Moderate bitterness and light oak notes. Moderate cherry notes and some light alcohol spice. Mouthfeel is medium full bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, an alright barleywine with a bit fruit character. Fruit isn?t exactly great, and kind of muddles the flavor, but the base beer is decent. As it warms the cherry becomes more prevalent and the beer starts to open up and taste less muddled; and by warm, I mean almost room temperature.

30 May 2015, tap at Firestone Walker Invitational Beer Festival. Orange and mostly clear. Nose is sweet malt. Ned body and moderately fizzy. Cherry lifesavers, granola malt, golden syrup. Sweet syrup beer candy with cooked cherries. Delicious!

Bottle. Reddish amber pour, with a thin off white head. Sweet malts, caramel, plenty of cherries, cherry juice, oak, sugar, and toffee. Ok, not something I would seek out.

brokensail (13782) - Orange County, California, USA - MAY 10, 2015
On tap @ FiftyFifty. Amber colored beer with a small off-white head. Mostly smells like cherry juice box/Popsicle and booze. Lots of sugar. Mild citrus (orange) zest and spice in the background. The flavor is intensely sweet. Tons of sugar, cherry, grenadine, and vanilla. Some woodiness and booze in there as well. Just too damn sweet.
