Kalli (474), Falun, Sweden Jul 30, 2007 Bottle@Akkurat, Stockholm: Aroma of caramel, vanilla and fresh, bitter hops. Buttery flavour has alcohol, apricots and burnt sugar followed by hops that stay mainly in the aftertaste. Wouldn’t mind them a bit more assertive. LooseCannon (914), Norfolk, Virginia, USA Jul 27, 2007 12oz bottle. Pours copper in color whit small foamy lite brown head. Aroma is sweet and grapefruit. Taste of malt and hops with alcohol warming. biggenius29 (155), Hamilton, Michigan, USA Jul 19, 2007 2006 bottle, notes from 1-27-06. Flavors of toasted caramel malts. With citrus hop flavor. Very bitter. The body is medium with a creamy texture and soft carbonation. TheBeerOrg (1563), Kentucky, USA Jul 18, 2007 Pours dark reddish amber with a fully receding off white head. Aroma of sherry, plums, and sweet fruits. Taste is thick, sticky with caramel, plums, and caramelized toffee. Mouthfeel is full to heavy bodied and slightly sticky with soft carbonation. thenick (742), North Bellmore, New York, USA Jul 17, 2007 Tap @ Canterbury Ales, Huntington, NY. Pours a deep orange with a tan-colored head. The aroma is fruit, with a little spice as well. Taste was largely caramel with some citrus notes as well. Alcohol very prominent from the beginning and became even more prominent as the beer warmed up. A decent barleywine, but nothing special. heemer77 (4294), Savannah, Missouri, USA Jul 15, 2007 Thanks for sharing, weepie. A 2004 vintage bottle drank in 2007. The body was dark copper with a light khaki colored head. The aroma was sherry with some oxidation and cherries. The taste was old toffee with a little bit of caramel. There was also some interesting orange character. The finish had lots of alcohol. A decent barleywine. Dough77 (771), Aurora, Illinois, USA Jul 12, 2007 Had this aged at least a couple of years. Pour was murky medium brown with fizzy off white head. Aroma is big heavy malt with some syrup. Aged its really tasty, like to try it fresh. T3llLAllDE (82), USA Jul 12, 2007 i bought this i thought it was just a killer ale but instead it was a barley wine with crazy alcohol pretending to be an ale. really its pretty good but its just so overwhelming with alcohol you cant really taste it.
