This amber ale has a full complex flavor dominated by caramel malt and finishing with a fruit and honey taste. It is true to the barleywine style in terms of appearance, taste and alcohol content, so I used it as a reference for the other BW samples. Angeloregon (2047), Portland, Oregon, USA

One of the most exhilarative barleywines at the Lucky Lab’s 2007 tastival. Potent and endearing citrus tinge with a nice fruity bite. Mmmm! dirtymike (2017), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 7, 2010 On tap at Toronado SF. Clear copper with a small off-white head, slowly fading to a thick creamy film. Vanilla, toffee and caramel dominate the aroma with a little raisin and leather behind. Flavor is a little sweet with raisins, light Concord grapes, and the scorched toffee--only a tinge of leather. Bitterness peaked at a 2-3 with some light alcohol burn. Full syrupy body with light carbonation. Pretty good, but due to the sweetness I could only take down a glass. ABUSEDGOAT (1936), California, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 4, 2009 I "horned" this stuff the morning after the Boonville Beer Fest ("horning" means drinking in Boontling supposedly). Copper color with a white head. Aroma of sweet caramel malt, fruit, and some hops. Flavor is sweet, malty, and fruity, with caramel, earth, and some hops on the finish. Medium-full, smooth palate. Very "hornable" for the style.
