Oct 14, 2007 Deep ruby orange, thin but lasting head. Aroma is toffee and citrusy and tangerine hops. Flavor is richly caramel-infused and deeply imbued with more citric hops, some evergreen and peaches. Quite hoppy, yet sweet finish. Plentiful hops and caramel malt pretty much sum this up. Good thing I like how they work in this case.

Oct 12, 2007 Bottled. Aroma has piney/grapefruit hops, some caramel malt, sugar/toffee and a little port/winey. Hazy, copper-brown coloured with a thin, off-white head. Taste is sweet, with some hopbitterness, sugar, sweet fruity malts and some winey notes. Actually nice brew. Bit weird due to the unexpected IPA/hoppy character of this barleywine.

Oct 6, 2007 Took this to a wine tasting party since I’m not a wine drinker. It was the most popular bottle at the party. Nice copper color with strong head. Lots of hops with slight fruity aroma and certainly some wine-y flavors. This is the first barleywine I’d consider buying again.

Oct 6, 2007 Copper in color. Strong hoppy floral aroma with hints of citrus. Medium body well balanced with a strong citrusy hop start but finishes malty and dry. A good big hopped Barley wine that does great in the cellar for about 3yrs.

Oct 4, 2007 Poured a cloudycopper color with good head that stayed forever. Nice hoppy aroma with hint of citrus, grapefruit. Taste is hoppy and citrusy with a malty finish. Pretty well balanced. Tastes very much like an English IPA, but stronger. I wish I had some more of this that I could let age, but I live in Mississippi so unavailable here. Lacing was decent. Good, but to me, not great. Still, I enjoyed.

Sep 29, 2007 Updated: Sep 30, 2007Bottle as shown. Pours a murky copper color with a small off white head that dimishes quickly. The aroma is a strong hops with grapefruit.Decent lacing on this one. The taste is a bitter grass with a sweet light malt finish. An excellent barley wine from Avery.

Sep 28, 2007 Holy hops!!!! Bitter hop taste, slight grassy notes. hides alcohol fairly well. Would be a great mix with Samaels Oak-Aged Ale, which could use the hopped flavor.
