Mar 21, 2010 Dark brown pour with no head. Aroma of alcohol and prunes. Another cool, weird label from DdC. Coffee flavor with some esters. A flavorful, malty winter brew.

Mar 20, 2010 Pours a amber brown color with an off-white head. Aroma of alcohol, dark fruit, and hops. Taste is dark fruit and caramel malt. The alcohol comes through nicely. It is a bit creamy with little carbonation. Very nice barley wine. Enjoyed in a snifter with a cigar.

Mar 15, 2010 Mohogany pour with an off-white head. Aroma of alcohol, dark fruit, and hops. Taste is dark fruit, alcohol, caramel malt, a little creamy. Little carbonation. Slight hop aftertaste. A nice mellow tasting beer for 9.8% alc. I bet it would age nice.

Mar 12, 2010 33cl bottle: The bottle poured cloudy brown with a thin head which quickly disappeared. The aroma was fruity and very wine like. The taste was dry and sweet with malt a strong flavour. Overall a nice sipping beer on a cold night. This was my first barley wine but a nice introduction to the style. I might have to rerate this once i have tasted more examples.

Mar 9, 2010 Pours a deep, dark, brownish red with a thick beige head. The aroma is full of toffee, dates, bready English malt, floral hops, nuts, and brown sugar. The flavor is a well blended mix of the characteristics found in the aroma. Mellow but full, lots of brown sugar, and a warm boozy finish. Full bodied with a bitter finish.

Mar 7, 2010 Pours a deep caramel brown with one finger of off white head. The nose is hops, caramel, toffee, hints of chocolate, roasted barley, and anise. The taste is big on malted barley, toffee, and caramel followed by chocolate, licorice, and anise. The lingering taste is a nice combination of alcohol, hops, and barley. A pretty similar match to old ruffian and horn dog. Pretty good BW but not in my top 5.
