3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Batch 2006 bottled in February 2007. Shared with CMUBEERMAN et al.. Pours hazy ruby caramel, virtually no head. Aroma is taffee, cider, banana, apricot. Flavor is taffee, apricot, malt, hops, salami, caramel. The label on this bottle is quite charming and one of the best I’ve ever seen. I bought a bottle to cellar, but we’ll see if it makes it. I may wind up drinking it soon, maybe this Tuesday on my wedding day.

Slightly hazey, amber body with a medium sized white head. The aroma is pine and caramel. The flavor is resinous pine and lots of astringent caramel. Medium/full body with fizzy carbonation, a sticky texture and a bitter,warm end.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle: Courtesy of Styles. The aroma consists of buttery caramel with hints of fruit and muted citrus hops. It pours a transparent amber with a small white head. The flavor starts with caramel and lots of residual sugar and muted citrus hops in the finish. It’s decent but I prefer more hoppy and less sweet Barley Wines.

HWOH 750 ml. Brought by the head brewer of East End. Thanks for bringing this! Pours a clear deep copper/light amber with a white lasting head and some nice lacing. Aromas of caramel, fruity esters, a bit hot in the alcohol, some spiced rum and medium hoppiness. Flavor is sweet, rum, light crystal malts, dried fruits and light brown sugar. Alcohol is noticed slightly most of the wya through, but it was very smooth, complex and should age very well due to the strength.

4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Poured a hazy amber color with a small, off white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of port, green apples, grapes and toffee malts, with caramel and light alcohol as well. Taste of sweet caramel and dried fruits, with some nuttiness, and light smoke as well. Alcohol in the finish.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Lightly hazed copper colored liquid. Small, but appropriate head. Floor malt and mild hopsack aromas. Seems quite traditional. Caramel and malt start thing out in a big way. Some mild fruit and hints of floral come just as the heat picks up in the back of the mouth and throat. Quite drinkable now, but would likely be much better in a year or so.
