Score: **4
-------- /> The score was calculated based upon the notes and an old scoring system.

Much blacker than the typical barley wine. Nice aroma but not quite as strong as you might expect. The high-alcohol content is masked well by the hops and malt. Finish is strong and bitter.

2000 vintage. Velvety smooth aroma with a light carmel colored appearance. Very welcome mild carbonation adds to this beer’s enjoyment. Very malty with a deeply bitter hop finish.
