Dark yellow with some reddish tints. Off white large head. Citrus hops with a hint of pineapple in them. Smells hoppy. Hops bitterness strikes quick and stays throughout. Dominates the flavor profile. Mildly viscous on the mouth feel 22 oz bottle

Awesome. You can taste the Oak aging and it has a nice smokey taste.

Very sweet and viscous. Almost honeyesque. Clear amber color, very limited carbonation. Very slow drink

A delight to drink, first barley wine purchase.

This beer might have been good if specific elements were not overpowering. There were caramel and oak tones which were delightful, but it was just too hard to get past the toasted coconut flavor. It tasted like liquified Almond Joy bars. Not what I want in a beer. Also, as another poster said, it was too "boozy" for drinkability.

I know it's a barley wine but it's just overly boozy
