22 ounce bottle into snifter. Pours clear dark red-orange color with a dense 1 finger light tan head with good retention that reduces to a lacing ring. Aromas of molasses, orange, caramel, and a bit of apple and roasted malt. Interesting aromas here. Taste of tons of orange, pineapple, grapefruit, caramel, and light chocolate on the front; that leads to a good sized bitterness on the finish that lingers with grapefruit and caramel flavor. Very nice balance of bitterness and sweetness. No alcohol in the taste and a fairly strong warming after the finish. Medium carbonation and fairly full bodied. Overall, quite a big sipping beer, but this is very nice stuff, would definitely like to try an aged one.

All around delicious barleywine, but I have a feeling I would enjoy it much more when it is older.
