Jan 28, 2008 This beer I wasn’t crazy about, it was alright, but I don’t think I would drink it again, I’m not a big fan of barley wines, but that may be that I just haven’t tried enough of them yet.

Jan 27, 2008 12 oz bottle. Aroma is malty, caramel, and alcohol. Initial flavor malty, bread, and slightly fruity sweet. Aftertaste is dominated by alcohol and only a small hint of hops. Medium to full body, almost no lacing or carbonation, and obvious alcohol. Drinkable if you like the barleywine style, limited otherwise.

Jan 21, 2008 The color was medium red. The head was creamy, thin, and white. The aroma was citris, sweet, and some hopps. The flavor was aged, musty, sweet, and hopps. Something was off in the flavor though. The palate was average. The finish was abrupt.

Jan 20, 2008 Pours a ruby red with a thin frothy light amber head. The aroma is sweet, alcohol, some hops, caramel. The flavor was kind of rough. Alcohol mainly, harsh, not too hot.

Jan 20, 2008 2006 bottle. poured a clear reddish amber with a decent cream-colored head that quickly faded to a film. good spicy caramel malt, with notes of pear, apple, raisin bread, and a brief flourish of hops. similar spicy caramel taste, with bubblegum hops, along with bready and earthy malt notes, and a bit of alcohol in the finish. warming lightly bitter finish, with a malty sweetness taking over as the bitterness fades. chewy full body with a thick coating oily mouthfeel, with a decent amount of carbonation giving it a light pleasant bubbly tingle. this is a really tasty barleywine!

Jan 20, 2008 bottle from 2006. pours a dark copper color with off-white head. has an oily appearance when swirled around the glass. lots of fruit and alcohol in th nose. taste is well rounded, sweet malts blending seamlessly with a fruity undertone. hides its alcohol very well in the taste but you feel it in your throat after you swallow. mellow hoppy finish. quite delicious.

does not count  Jan 20, 2008 Lord all mighty, this was a serious beer. I hated it at first, but it got better the more I drank. Very sharp and sweet at first, then mellow. I loved it at the end, but that may be due to the fact that I was buzzed by the end of it. I may buy this again, but maybe not.
