Jan 18, 2007 May 2006 Bottle. Batch 2. Eight month old beer. Pour is a clear orange/red with a thin spotty head of white cream. Aroma is sweet and alcoholic, but not offensive. The flavor is sweet caramel and alcohol. I can detect some oakiness, but very little. This beer is all about the alcohol and sweet sticky body that warms you up in the depths of a cold dark winter. It’s pretty fitting that it’s about 10 degrees outside, but I’m warm and cozy inside with this demon of a beer.

Jan 12, 2007 12oz. Bottle: Aroma is sour and smells like Stilton cheese. Also smells a bit sweet, with hints of sourdough, caramel, dough, and candy. Very strange scent. Pours copper in color with a big, creamy, frothy, tan head that lasted throughout. Very good lacing. Cloudy. Sparkling. Flavors of alcohol, caramel, malt, vanilla, wood, sugar, and dough. Very complex flavor that changes several times from first sip to swallow. Heavily sweet. Slightly sour. Not bitter at all. Very unbalanced. No hop presence, just balls out malt. Texture is thick and viscous. Full body. Flat carbonation. Long, sweet alcohol & malt finish. Overall, I don’t like barley wines, but at least I could see the craft in this beer, and finish it too.

Jan 9, 2007 Nice reddish color. Very strong pungent aroma but in a nice way. Sweet, very lingering flavor and mouthfeel. Whiskey and bourbon are very present. Aftertaste has a presense of an aged whiskey, smooth yet acidic. A very interesting beer to say the least.

Jan 8, 2007 very strong beer
has a syrupy overall essence.
the alcohol is very pronouced.
Very sweet
Unusual aroma, and nice.
This is a beer that is more like a liquore, like an after dinner apertif.

Jan 5, 2007 Wow...that’s the first word that comes to my mind. I think I’m drinking a cross between beer, wine, and whiskey. What a strange and unique combination. I’m not really sure if I truly like it, but I have to give it credit on it’s uniqueness. I say give it a try and decide for yourself.

Jan 5, 2007 Wow. This is one unique beer. It’s really tough for me to say if I liked it or not. I couldn’t quite finish the whole 12 oz bottle, but I’ve never tasted anything quite like it. has all the characteristics of a barleywine but with some unique twists. Pours a hazy dark orange with minimal carbonation. The nose smelled of gingerbread and prunes; really quite pungant. The thick, chewy and malty body led to an explosion of flavors on the palate... Sweet, malty, hoppy, gingerbread, yeast, raisins, prunes.... Almost reminded me of an Amarone wine. The finish was incredibly long. I was tasting hops 5 minutes later. Worth a try... but REALLY SWEET. A truly unique beer.

Jan 3, 2007 Updated: May 29, 2007Shared with Theis. Pours a clear amber with a small tanned head. Very heavy sweetness. Smells of almond liqueir. Lots of (sweet versions of) fruits: cherries, plums and strawberries... topped off with toffee. Also rather bready with notes of almonds. Extremely heavy bodied. Wine/port like. Lots of alcohol. Soft carbonation. Also oak, cork and honeish sweetness in the finish. Too sweet for me... I wouldn´t be able to finish a whole bottle.
