All I can say about this is wow.. This cost me $240 for a 6-pack case, but it was worth every penny. This is like a carnival in a bottle, large toffee popcorn aromas, some butterscotch, and cotton candy. Lots of dark fruit flavors, with sweet molasses, dates, a bit of tar, and rich alcohol to round out the finish. This was lovely.

Jul 15, 2008 2004, corked. Reddish bourbon color - no head or carbonation. Immensely sweet smelling - port and sherry character, prunes, dark fruit. Like a caramel infused Sauternes. Flavor is nice, too sweet. Would work with a chocolate dessert probably. Caramel and toffee, alcohol traces left on the lips. I would’ve really like some more apparent hops and some carbonation in this. I get it, I just don’t like it, and it’s not a barley wine on a normal day.

May 26, 2008 Thanks to Hopstar for this brew. Pours amber with a faint white head that fades quickly. Syrupy palate that reminds me of mead or port. Flavor of caramel, honey, port, butterscotch and a faint clove hint to it. Alcohol was there, but not overwhelming. This was a 2004 bottle so it has had time to soften. Very well built sipper beer.

May 23, 2008 Sherry-like aromas, oaky with a lot vanilla. Pours reddish amber. Smooth and sweet, very oaky, cherries and dark fruits, port-like flavors with vanilla and sweet malts. So so smooth. Awesome beer!!!

May 15, 2008 Bottle. Sampled at dark lord day luckily as i never wanted to pay the price tag. Smells so sweet, like liquid candy and ripe dark fruit. Plum rasin, and glucose is everywhere in this beer. Thickly coats your mouth with lots of fruit sugar.
