Nov 19, 2007 2006 version 12 bottle. Pours a clear reddish/orange with a small of white head. Aroma is slightyl sweet yet rather dry with floral notes, boozy and some biscuit. Medium bodied with nice carbonation and a very dry finish. Flavor of alcohol, biscuit and a slight touch of grapes. This beer isn’t good or bad it’s just a little to plain in the flavor and aroma to really sway me either way.

Nov 11, 2007 Bottle birthed in 2006. Poured a brownish auburn with a thin layer of off white head. Aroma of caramel, fruit, alcohol and flowers. For me this tasted like a standard barleywine; did not distinguish itself. Malt centered flavor with some hops and spice in the finish. Slightly sweet. Mouthfeel was not great for the style. Slightly above average for the style.

Nov 8, 2007 Bottle from JCB. Sweet caramel malt, dried fruit, and aromatic hops (floral and pine) on the nose. Some malt, a sweet sherry note, maple syrup and wet wood. Pours rich, dark copper. Flavor is rich, malty, fruity, spicy and dry with lots of hops. Medium to full bodied. Not as rich and mouth coating as I like in my barleywines. Finishes with a blast of spicy hops.
