Also a fair amount of coffee. Very smooth. The cocoa seems to be missing.

A bit of oxidation. Almost no life in carbonation. Roasty. Some coffee. Not as strong as the others.

Pretty sweet. Very caramel forward. It’s quite nice, actually.

Burnt caramel… it’s become a barley wine at this point.

Well, that's fun... lost some body but the mid palate is great. Falls off into an apple cider finish

Smell is INTENSE but the flavor is quite caramel, faint hops, and some leather forward.

Way too hoppy for a barley wine… starts off smooth and then the hopps just take over and make this overly bitter
