Bottle. Shiny clear chestnut colour. Malty and sweet caramelly flavour with peppery caramel aftertaste. Might be a bit cloying if not for the generous carbonation.

Nov 25, 2009 Pleasant aroma and nice appearance. Not as complex as some of the better barley wines, but enjoyable. A slight metallic aftertaste takes a little bit away from this beer.

Nov 23, 2009 Bottled. Beautiful amber with a darker orange at top. Aroma is like a darker red wine with floral and grassy hops. Flavor is more maltier with caramel but also balanced with bigger hops. Very soft for a barley wine. ALSO, clean, focused finish and balanced.

Nov 21, 2009 12 oz bottle. Aptly named, this is a Monster!! Pours copper in colour, with little head. Big sweet aroma, and even stronger flavour, where the alcohol bursts through.

Nov 15, 2009 3rd August 2008. Very sweet start, some hints of bubblegum. Saccahrine sweet malt leading to a dry dry finish. A touch of tobacco and a little alcohol warmth. Very drinkable.

Nov 14, 2009 2007 bottle.
Beautiful brownish color. The foam was not large and went down quickly. After around 10 minutes, there was no foam left at all.
The aroma was significantly malty, fairly sweet one. Syrup, raisins, dried fruit.
Syrup, malt, raisins, so what was in the aroma was also in taste. Body was medium. I felt a bit of the alcohol.
Aftertaste contained some marzipan. A good beer!

Nov 13, 2009 12oz bottle 2007 vintage. Fairly subdued nose for a barley wine, hints of caramel but not much else. Didn’t get the sherry at all. Pours a chestnut brown with little head that dissipates to a small ring in the glass very quickly. Palate is slightly sweet with notes of butterscotch and treacle. Some hop punch at the end, lingers nicely but not as complex as others. Alcohol is very well hidden. Pleasing but not a knockout.

Oct 30, 2009 [2505-20090930] Bottle. Bitter lemon rinds and mild spruce resin aroma. Clear, dark red amber body with a quick foamy yellow head. Boozy malt grains flavour has a long sweet malt finish. Medium-full body. Quite boozy, a big beer, but has nice balance.

Oct 29, 2009 This monster ale was born in 2006. Really weak aroma of a small amount of malt poking through. Mellow hops and slight caramel notes resounded within the increasingly complex malt basis. Slowly became fruity towards the end, but not too sweet. The alcohol was tucked away nicely. Enjoyable.
