This barleywine pours a somewhat cloudy reddish amber color with a thin off-white head that dissipates quickly. Moderate lacing.
Smell consists of malt, cherry, some alcohol, some hops, honey, syrupy sugar, a touch of maple.
Taste consists of quite sweet maltiness, cherry, honey, mild hops, hint of citrus, some maple, a bit like cough syrup, some alcohol.

Mouthfeel
is smooth, syrupy, a touch harsh on the palate but not overly so. Flavors are fairly well balanced.
Overall, this is a sweet, syrupy barleywine that has a decent flavor profile and comes across as fairly interesting. A bit like DFH Olde School, a bit like Troegs Mad Elf. The sweetness can be a touch cloying, perhaps riding the line but not going over. Something different, for sure.
My score: 88
