Harpoon Brewery's Leviathan Barleywine

Had this one out of the bottle, so I'm fairly clueless as to the appearance.

It has a solid, sweet, bready malt-forward smell. Big and smooth in the feel, with a good grassy bitter kick to it, but still feels maltier than most barleywines. Glad to see it, too. Most breweries think they have to hop the style up beyond recognition, so a maltier version is a good find.
