A big thanks to Ibrew2or3,Quake1028,and Degarth for trhis one. This one changed my opinion of barley wines. Pours a beautiful copper collor with no head to speak of. Taste of candied fruits,figs even a hint of apples. Palate was spot on thick and coating.All and all one the best beverages i have had to date.

Nov 28, 2008 Bottle. Frothy fair mostly deminishing head. Red-amber colour. Heavy malty and hoppy aroma. Sherry-like. Moderate sweet and light bitter flavopr. Burnt almond and licorice dominating. Average finsh. Creamy palate but too alcoholic. Tastes more like mead than barleywine.

Nov 27, 2008 Bottle shared by swolf3.. The bottle was labeled 2005. Brown in color, no head. Aroama of all alcohol and raisons, and then some more alcohol... Taste was syrupy sweet and raisons/plums. Alcohol in the taste but not as much compared to the nose. The body didnt have much carbonation, which made it to be a little thicker. There are better bareywines out there in imo. I didnt even finish my glass... so I think that sums it up
