2004 bottle courtesy of Mr.Bendo sampled 9/08. Thanks&#033; I’ve been wanting to try this one for a long time. <br /><br /> Pours dark and cloudy, gorgeous barleywine nose, leathery and sweet, aged hops and caramel. Absolutely kick-ass flavor, rich and complex with lots of dark sugars, plenty of hop punch even after four years, smoke and dried plums, vast complexity. Lovely mouthfeel, not hot in the least, but thick and rich and full. Beautiful beer at this age. I can see that it might have needed a good fraction of these four years to come into its own, but right here....wow. A knockout that I’d place alongside the top US barleywines at four years.

Poured a dark murky brown with an off white head. Aroma was of lots of alcohol, some fruits, vegetables and the milk balls. Flavor was realy complex, hard to pick out specifics, finished with a long overbearing taste of burnt malted milkballs. ONly gave it 16/20 due to its complexity and uniqueness
