Smells a bit like black strap molasses. Not as well balanced. Tastes like honey without the sweet. Demonstrably boozy. Molasses aftertaste. Slightly sweet. And a little savory?

Had I tasted this before the Oaken Rye this review would be very different. By comparison it is thin and metallic. On its own it’s good. The Oaken Rye is simply outstanding.

Really good; strong honey on the front with complexity from Tom Cat barrels

This is a class of beers that I refer to as “soy sauce”. That sounds terrible, but it’s not in reality. The general profile of barleywine oak barrel beers is a little umami. This one’s heavy, but sweet and tasty. Oooo, mommy!

Like the rye one better although the flavors from the Gin barrels is nice.

I think the sweetness of a barley mixed with honey becomes a little too sweet. Maybe gin, but super subtle.
