3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
98vintage: Murkey brown/red w/no head. Sweet malt, sour citrus, vanilla, yeast, and a herbal note (mint?) all on the nose. Heavey sweet, and lingering finish. Winey, vanilla, carmel, odd green fruit quality, boozy finish, anise, and herbal notes all play across the palate. Strange, good...not a favorite.

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!

Draft. Pours golden orange with an off white head. Sweet fruity aroma, almost juicy, with light toasted malts. The flavor has some peach-like fruity sweetness, toasted malts, and honey. Not bad.

Pour thanks to motortoddhead. Orange-amber in color. Nose is very caramel with a bit of fruitiness. 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.
