Cloudy copper colour with thick, creamy head. Fruity, vinous nose with notes of smoke and plums. Deeply malty. Salty licorice and hops builds up to a very bitter finish. Sticks out in a crowds of barley wines. Has developed a lot in the past 6 months.
Old rating (April 2004)Copper colour, small beige head. Vinous smokey ash aroma. Very rich and salty with notes of blood and metal, but hops, peppey alcohol and salty spices dominates. Extremely powerful, but also confusing and unusual. Still a bit raw, should probably have waited in the celalr for a while. (5/4/7/3/12)

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Apr 20, 2004 Bottled: Unclear reddish coloured. Brown/yellowish head. Very hoppy aroma. Sweetish and fruity. Reminds me a little of vanilla. Very intense and fantastic. Flavour is all about hops. Sweet with notes of caramel. Has a very thick mouthfeel. The bitterness in the end is intense but is well rounded by a nice alcaholbite. Thanks to Raindog for trading this beer.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Apr 18, 2004 Very dark reddish brown caramel color. Big, thick, sweet dark fruits, wood, toffee, then some drying hops kick in. Goblincat (356), Westland, Michigan, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Apr 16, 2004 Pours a deep red with a nice long lasting tan head. Smells of cotton candy, raisins, and malt. Extremely smooth and quite thick, tasting of barley, caramel, chocolate, wood, and hops. Lightly bitter aftertaste with a noticable alcohol bite. I think I may store the other five and try them every six months to see how well it ages. Very good. BierBauch (642), Cape Coral Waterfront Wonderland, Florida, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Apr 1, 2004 Thanks to Raindog for the sample. Poured slowly into my snifter and produced a thin layer of film on top or a dark cherry red body. Sweet malt aroma with plums,toffy and caramel. A bit of alcohol also noticable. Body is full and smooth. Too much alcohol in the flavor. Very sweet and malty with a slight bitterness. Not one of my favorite barley wines. Maybe should have aged this one.
