Jun 6, 2008 bottle from Bevmo. Cloudy brown with a fizzy head. Caramel spice and alcohol aroma. Butter toffee and burnt caramel taste with a bitter finish. Not bad.

Jun 1, 2008 Very sweet barleywine. Big caramel flavor up front, brown sugar, chewy and a touch cloying up front. I enjoyed this beer, but with the sweetness this has it’s a small glass kinda beer, not quite to the sweetness level of JW Lees, but getting up there. Pours very clear dark copper with a smooth khaki head.

Very bright golden-amber. Piney nose with a hint of orange, wood. Quite sweet, with chewy malts. I give it a moderate thumbs up.

Feb 21, 2008 Draft at Toronado. Amber colored. Aroma is caramel, wood, mdoerate to high hops, some fruit. Medium bodied, good hop flavors and bitterness. Really a nicely made BW.
