bottle reads (feb 19 2004) *doing a side by side with a "oaked age release*this "specialty brew poured a copper red with not much head at all.the aroma and flavor were dominated by grapefruit,with a bit of caramel malts.honestly this was a bit one sided for me.its not really bad,just a very average barley wine.

Pours a beautiful ruby red to brown with a touch of head that laces thinly around the glass. Nose & taste are of caramel, toffee, sweet fruits like plum & raisin. A bit of tartness almost of cherries without the cherry flavor. Solid brew, thanks for the toss in Watson1977!

Flavor well-refined toasted malt, dried apricot, caramel sweetness, and a bite of hop bitterness at the end. Residual sticky malts and hop bitterness to the finish. Alcohol moderately well hidden with a little trailing heat.

12 ounce thanks to watson1977. Big orange barley wine with a nice pour. Bottled January this year. Lots of sugar, honey, and sweet in the taste. I find the alcohol to be hidden. Bit of apple and pear as well. Very nice barley wine.
