The beer pours deep, dark, gleaming copper, orange gem stone
turning towards ruby. There is a very short head of off-white to light tan. The
aroma is dried fruits (think more apricots and white raisins than say figs and
raisins), candied orange, tangy, brown sugar, a bit of caramel. The taste
follows the aromas, fruity, sweet, yet tangy, a bit of pine, with a dry, woody
finish. Bitterness is moderate. The beer is smooth and sips easy, with just a
tingle of carbonation. I found this a really enjoyable, easy sipping, American barleywine.
