Pours a copper color with a white head. I was surprised how light the color was compared to the taste. Smells of fruits, mostly peaches and alcohol. Tastes smooth for a 15% beer. Taste of apricot and peach. The finish is sweet and fruity. Very good barley wine. I’m going to cellar a couple.

Pours orange amber with medium off-white head. Aroma of mango, peaches, toffee, butterscotch, caramel malt. Taste is very sweet at first before a bit of sour bitter kicks in to balance it. A touch of alcohol but surprisingly controlled. Long warming finish. Body is medium and creamy with soft carbonation.

Bottle bought bottle from DFH in Rehobooth in Oct-2011, opened Apr-2013. This beer does "age with the best of ’em". Dark, cloudy cooper brown pour. Thin white head that disappeard quickly. No lacing. Strong, sweet aroma of caramel and salt water taffy. Front end burst of malt and orange, sweet. Back end fades quickly but 15% alcohol runs up into your nose, WOW!
3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Tasted a 5 year old bottle, some oxidation but compliments the robust dark fruit complexity. Hops really only spicy now and is mostly a hot malt bomb - great on a cold night.
Low carbonation cloudy deep amber. Thick mouthfeel - still hotter than I would have expected, and less mellow.
