Gross. Very sweet barleywine with a ton of wood smoke. The amount of sweetness makes it sickly, like apple juice that's turned and then been set on fire. And this is coming from someone who loves Lagavulin. I couldn't finish this.

Standard sort of apricot scent and flavor that comes with barleywine. Since it's not my mind off beer, I really can give no advice

Heavy brown sugar notes. Well aged. 2005 vintage.

Smells faintly of sour yeast; flavor is that of a slightly tart barleywine with a vegetal, strong booze flavor from the spirit barrel. I initially thought tequila before learning that Calvados is an apple brandy. Pretty good.
