pumpmaster (473), Pembroke Pines, Florida, USA Aug 10, 2008 12 ounce bottle purchased at Big C Liquors in Orlando, FL for $2.50 Very good. DrDavid (957), Johnson, Vermont, USA Aug 8, 2008 (Bottle). Sweet fruit aroma. Deep copper color with almost no head. Flavor is fruity, sweet, with an alcohol finish. Sprightly, but not particularly complex. Perhaps the 2007 I had would have benefited from more aging. kmeves (1080), Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, USA Aug 7, 2008 Pours a clear orange with a minimal head. The aroma is medium sweet, big caramel malt and a bit medicinal. Flavor is very malty and fruity with a noticable alcohol finish. Rich texture, medium bodied. bfogt (2), Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA does not count Aug 3, 2008 2007 Bottle. Delivered on the malt and hops but it’s just too young (my fault there) Alcohol burn was still present. Needs some age. Beerman6686 (1262), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 31, 2008 Poured a cloudy light orange color with an off white head. Aroma was some what malty, a little bit of hops, and a lot of alcohol. Flavor was also very malty, somewhat fruity, probably form the citrusy hops, and a lot of alcohol warmth. SynergyXJ (506), Blacksburg, Virginia, USA Jul 22, 2008 Bottle, #392 Burgundy pour with small head. Warm malty aroma and flavor. Clean finish, not the best barley wine around. joshwilfong (769), Cleveland, Ohio, USA Jul 20, 2008 reddish brown with mild carbonation. some nice crystal malt tones with a lot of hop bitterness. a solid barley wine but doesnt have the malt depth that the great ones do canary dog (441), Rutland, Vermont, USA Jul 14, 2008 Strong dark ale with lots of alcohol warmth and roasted backnotes. Not my favorite type of beer but better than other barleywines I’ve had.
