Logs for this tasting

Boozy fragrance. Tastes like a strong barleywine, with some date-cake fruity sweetness and a nice, smooth finish. Thing is, the booze builds up fast and strong... I wish they had shown some restraint and given us something a little less in-your-face. The flavors are great and deserve it.
Very booze smell with some light pleasing fruit hints. Sweet but not overly so, very boozy particularly near the end. The fig and dates flavors a subtle but present. Very pleasing overall.
