Mar 27, 2009 12oz bottle dated 2008. Pours dark copper. Low carbonation, little lacing. Call me crazy, but the aroma is that of bleu cheese, and the taste?... BLEU CHEESE. I’m not sure how I feel about all this. Other than the cheesiness, this beer is sweet. I really can’t get past this funk. Might have to try another bottle.

Mar 24, 2009 2006 bottle, thanks to HogTownHarry. Appearance: Nice ruby red body with a medium yellow head. No visible carbonation. Aroma: Malt, hops, perfume and alcohol. Flavour: Malt, chewy, hops, alcohol, leather with deep over-ripe plums, port, oak and barley. So much going on. Like the commercial description says I could imagine accompanying this with a cigar.

Mar 22, 2009 First off this bottle I had was one that I had totally forgotten about. Just shy of 5 years old. The beer held up very very well. Sugary, candy and a bit of raisins. Nice darker color. Got a hint of brown sugar out of it as well. Not much head, but I am curious if this is because of the age of the beer. Really became a very sweet dessert beer. Great barleywine!

Mar 17, 2009 Dégusté avec Agaguk et Pyrozoid. Apparence cuivré/orangé avec une belle mousse beige qui as rapidement diminué. Aromes de cuire, d’alcool, prunes, kiwi, alcool, cerises et vanille... Aromes assez complexe. Tres agréable en bouche, vélouté, tres équilibré entre le sucré et l’amertume... meme piquant un peu. Je suis tres impressioné par cette sensation dans la bouche... tres dure a expliquer. Gout de caramel cémeux, creme brulé, houblon citronné et cuire reviens également. De belle éfluves d’alcool complete cette biere.
