Feb 28, 2007 Nice. It pours a deep reddish copper with a fizzy off-white that lasts none too long and creates a slippery wall of lacing. The aroma is rich and malty, sweet with fruit (apples, pears...), but has an slight, annoying metallic touch. The flavor is sweet, malty, and fruity with a balancing grapefruit and citric zest bitterness. The finish is mildly bitter with a subtle alcohol burn. Very good winter warmer. <font size=-4>Thanks to <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/ViewUser.asp?UserID=1 for passing this along.<font size=-1>

Feb 28, 2007 Updated: Jun 8, 200728-02-2007 Bottle. None excising head. Not much lacing. Color was nutty brown and nice looking. Body was slightly clear and sparkling. Aroma was fruit, alcohol, caramel, apples, bananas and in the beginning some metallic notes as well. As it warmed up, the metallic notes disappeared. Full bodied with an alcoholic texture and a soft carbonation. Flavor was sweet with well balancing burned bitterness. Nice and complex Barley Wine! But not the best I have had.
07-06-2007 Bottle. [Tasting session with BierKönig, thanks for a great evening Jeppe. Vintage 2004 ] The vintage had diffently improved the overall impresson of this beer I must say. It seamed much more balanced. Rating 4-8-8-3-15. We could compare it with a Vintage 2004 North Coast Old Stock Ale, and I thought the Old Stock was a bit better.

Feb 25, 2007 Bottle 2005. Nice lamber colour with an average lasting head. Dark caramel brown colored body. Sweet aroma with a nice touch of malts and hops. The flavour is very bombastic with the alc. quite a bit dominating along with malty caramel and some bitter hops. Nice Barley one for the cold evenings!

Feb 25, 2007 A decent barley wine by Brooklyn. Everything was just there but not great...the malty/fruity aroma. The taste of caramel and malt with syrupy mouthfeel. The sweet aftertaste that did not linger. Not bad but there are better out there
