From the brewer

A big, rich English style Barleywine that, as its name suggests, has tints of ruby around the edges of its brown body, with a toffee, caramel, toasted pecan sweetness that is kept in balance with a smooth, alcohol warmth, and slightly fruity American hop note. This will be perfect around the fire, with a cigar, with a rich meal, or just while cozying up and relaxing with family and friends this season. It may be enjoyed right away, or allowed to age in the bottle. Vertical tastings are encouraged.

Rich and toffee-like, like a Sucaba without the overt hints of hard liquor, and a creamy, malty head that you can taste in the flavor. This is another clear winner for Perennial. Surprisingly clean finish for something so sweet, and hides its strength with an elegant balance.
