2010 Indigo waxed 750ml. A+ for packaging. Guest reviewer daysinthewake! Deep and murky, umber body. Very short tan head that bubbles out immediately. Small traces are left on the side of the glass. Apples and pears, with a brandy essence. Caramel and honey and bready malts. Some port qualities as well. Great nose. Vinous is taste, like a rich, well aged port. Flavors of port raisins, apples and toffee. Dates and a boozy finish. Very light hopping. Slightly thick and rich. Hides the alcohol well. Wow, this is one of the best barleywines I've ever had. It has aged perfectly, and has a very complex and satisfying taste. Excellent.
