Jan 1, 2005 12/31/04: On tap at the Smokehouse NYE 2004. Aroma of oak barrel and cherries. Once poured, the body has a color gradation which goes from a creamy almond color to a red-brown color. Once the beer settles, you are left with a nice, creamy almond colored head, which clings to your glass. Very intense flavors, which include cherry, oak barrel, sugary malt, whisky and alcohol. Smooth, warming, clean finish. I am not sure what the ABV is, but this beer was quite strong! Aging this one another year would be worth the wait!

Aug 28, 2007 On tap at barleys smokehouse. Pours a brown color with hardly a beige colored head. Aroma is oak, whiskey, caramel, alcohol, ginger. Flavor is oak, vanilla, bourbon, ginger, cinnamon, caramel, toffee. Palate is full bodied, mild carbonation, finishes boozey and sweet. I really enjoyed this. Velvety smooth, decent balance, perhaps a little hot but not overwhelming, great complex mix of flavors.

Dec 29, 2007 Went out with Rick and Robert for a night of unbridled debauchery last night. I started with this from the Firkin. Floral nose of cologne, dried fruit, and cherries. The brew is a cloudy walnut with amber highlights and a minimal head. Wow! The brew is sweet and tangy with an abundance of acidity and spice. The finish is very fruity with nice depth. The full body is syrupy and flat. The finish is slightly cloying with a peppery bite from the yeast. No listing here on the ABV but this one packs a fuckin wallop!

Apr 20, 2005 Tasted at MRAF in Columbus. Poured a Hazy light orange color with medium head. Due to bourbon barrel aging, the aroma and flavor was strong in bourbon. Interesting brew as a barleywine but use the cask with the stout.
