Wild Rose Barley Wine

Picked this up in Canmore, Alberta earlier this spring. Wild Rose is a Calgary-based craft brewery, and this came highly recommended. Brewed in January 2009, aged for a year before release, and a full-on 8.7% abv. Poured a brassy red copper, with little head to speak of, and almost no lacing. Nose is malt-forward, mild prune and chocolate. Surprisingly light, not terribly chewy, malt-dominant, a slightly funky chocolate note towards the finish, which was sharp, moderately dry and assertive. Not sweet, not heaty, but still packing a wallop. I think I need to lie down now.
