Jan 7, 2010 Bottle, shared by Ethan. Thanks. Pouts a hazy red with a small white head. Nose has a bit of tartness, brown sugar, English malts. Flavor has a heavy bit of tartness at the beginning, sweet malts, but more sour type flavors than sweet. I don’t know about this one. Seems infected and off.

Dec 26, 2009 750 mL bottle courtesy of TheCheeseMan. Thanks! Pours a hazy bronze color with a hint of orange. Medium frothy offwhite head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma of caramel, toffee, green apple, berries, bread, cinnamon, earthy, leafy hops. Taste is toffee, brown sugar, lots of fruity notes including berries, cherries, candied citrus. Very much like fruitcake. Very subtle hops in the finish. Medium-full bodied.

Dec 10, 2009 Definitely has a faint off flavor reminiscent of cherry like many have reported. There’s some soft molasses, wet oak and smoke in the aroma. The flavor is cherry wood, honey, burnt almond and a hint of liquid smoke. Body is is full and creamy with soft carbonation. Not sure if it was a result of the infection but in no way would I call this a barley wine. Comes of more as a strong scotch ale or wee heavy.

Dec 5, 2009 Bigups to snojerk for this incredibly interesting drink. An english barleywine with a distinct belgian yeast strain to add a wild and slightly sour aspect to the otherwise fruity and sweet beer. Aroma is mainly sweetness with some purple fruit. Flavor is big malt and cherry plum flavors. There is some sweetness again followed by the pungent sourness that is different but very interesting. Pours a dark brown with slight tan head. Points for uniqueness but not sure how approachable this beer is now or even with a little bit of age on it.

Nov 26, 2009 Bottle thanks to SamGamgee: Pours a transparent dark copper amber with a frothy, well-lacing cream-colored head. Aroma of sweet caramel malt and lots of light fruity notes with a touch of tartness and grapefruity hops. Body starts with good fullness and some sticky caramel candy sweetness with a tart fruity balance before a more bitter, warming citric hoppy finish. Apart from the tartness, this would be another world-class barleywine from Alesmith.

Big malt aroma. Amber coloured and rich on the palate with some alcohol present. Malty with a creamy and slightly dry lasting finish.
