Nice lil barley wine Spices, nutmeg, coriander, caramel and molasses blend well with some spikey barley notes. Alcohol surfaces here and there. Wood roasted finish, and semi nutty. Ends with a fig like twist. Really well done! I think it’s time to try the others from this brewer.

Jul 14, 2008 Strong dark ale with lots of alcohol warmth and roasted backnotes. Not my favorite type of beer but better than other barleywines I’ve had.

Jul 10, 2008 12oz bottle from Kingdom Liquors (Tampa, FL). Aroma is hops, grapefruit, dark ripe fruit, brandy, malty sweetness (like caramel). Flavor is sweet malt, hoppy-bitterness, caramel-honey sweetness with notes of hops. Medium to full-bodied with a clean, sweet malt finish. Nice ale.

Jul 9, 2008 Bottle. Pours a dark brown / amber colour with beige head. Aroma is dark fruit, sherry, hops, caramel. Flavor is much of the same with a dark spicy, port like feel feel to it. Will age well. I hope.
