Wax top flip top etched bottle... Caramel cola colored... Aroma of butterscotch, caramel, bourbon whiskey, oak... Flavor is caramel and butterscotch with moderate heat from whiskey throughout and slight burn on finish... Lots of woody notes... Can tell this has probably mellowed over the past year too... Decent

Swingtop, waxed capped, etched glass bottle. If that doesnt scream whale,
I dont know what does. Reddish brown pour. I dont get a whole lot of bourbon. Strong English style barleywine. Bitter, floral, oaky. Boozy finish.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 Butters (3983) - Richmond, Virginia, USA - MAY 1, 2014
Rate for the beard league barleywine. Murky dull orange pour with minimal ring of near white head. Extremely sweet caramel, raisin, fig nose. Similar flavors, but add a huge amount of wood and hop bite for some balance. Boozy warmth. A touch astringent, but the alcohol isnt too harsh to be drinkable now. This is okay now, but i bet this will do well with a little age. Awesome bottle though.
