VitaminR (422), Colorado, USA Jun 28, 2008 Caramel soaked apricots and resiny hop nose. Soapy small head that lingered, reddish amber color. Rich caramel sweetness...multi-layered hop bitterness. Tight carbonation, full body and silky, long complex finish, alcohol is almost completely masked by flavors. One of the best "Barley Wines" I’ve ever had! EHopper (274), Minnesota, USA Jun 22, 2008 Dark amber with dark cream head. Nice, bright, citrus and carmel and hop scent. Very satisfying malt and hops flavor, a bit sweet, but well balanced with bitter. Alcohol not overly evident. Pleasing finish. railcat1 (578), Orlando, Florida, USA Jun 20, 2008 This was a amber beer that was full of maltts and a little bitter and thin for a barley wine i will age one to see if it gets any better.CHEERS! Guinness4Duff (507), Tallahassee (and Poconos, PA), Florida, USA Jun 18, 2008 Bottle. Pours a deep amber, almost brown. Sweet caramel aroma with a nice dose of dry hops. Flavor is about the same. Rich sweet caramel up front followed by a strong hop bitterness. Pleasant earthy and smoky aftertaste lingers in your mouth. Very Nice. bombshelter (349), Washington, Washington DC, USA Jun 5, 2008 Lupulin Reunulin. somehow haven’t rated this before. red, clear. aroma: wow, hops, how are you doing. some caramel in there too. flavor is big and malty up front, bready, caramel. with big crisp citrusy hop finish. top-notch. bearlybrewed (33), Colorado, USA Jun 2, 2008 Color was carmel with scant eggshell head. Aroma was scenty with maltiness and a bit of citrus after wiff. Laces well with a lot of heaviness. after finishing this beer felt like I had lunch. highibus (421), Mill Creek, Washington, USA May 31, 2008 nice carmel color. not a lot of aroma but I am a little stuffy. nice calmelized malt flavor with a nice hop bite. good finish. nice beer.
