Mouthfeel
is fairly smooth on the palate though some definite alcohol harshness comes through. The sugariness is a touch cloying.
Overall, this is a decent enough tasting English barleywine that's quite sweet with some definite tastes of alcohol, bourbon, and dark fruit. The sweetness can be just a touch too much at times, but overall it seems to fit with the character of this particular beer. There's also a decent wood flavor component also, as the bottle says it's aged in oak barrels.
My score: 89
