Nov 18, 2009 341 ml bottle via JulienHuxley, served at cellar temperature in a snifter glass.
App.: Very deep copper with a rim of tan.
Aroma: Really boozy deep, dark dried fruits, Lots of brown sugar, so incredibly malty and crunchy, some minty herbals, caramel and toffee, a touch of bright fruitiness, light sniffing brings lots of biscuit and bread, this is huge.
Palate: Medium-full body, fairly low effervescence.
Flav.: Much like the nose, tons of deep, rich, crunchy malts, big resinous, pine-like hops, quite fruity, some alcohol burn, chocolate, toffee, caramel, dark dried fruits, lighter nuttiness; very sweet with a great deal of bitterness, residual malts and alcohol, so big.
Wow, this is a huge beer. A poor choice for a late night through the week. The sacrifices we make...

Nov 15, 2009 MMmm - MM! Good cracker!! Great barleywine. Poured wth a very nice off-white head that lasts and some lace. Color is a slightly hazy deep medium to dark amber. Aroma is super rich and typical of an american bw. Flavor’s the same and much more full and intense. Great bittersweet character. Full body and great carbonation. Nice finish. bit rich for a session.
