Jan 22, 2003 Batch #3 (bottled Nov. 01'): Brandy-like colour with a tightly beading beige head. Aroma: Old cheese predominates with sweet caramel and cognac underneath. flavour: vinous, butterscotch, raisins. So well balanced and smooth, yet so complex. A late acidity. Not my favourite BW, but definitely one of the more unique ones.

Oct 20, 2004 I love this beer. I love the balance between the sweetness and the bitterness. A complex, bitter, sweet brew, with a excellent finish.

Dec 6, 2003 Dark copper pour with a decent head. A very nice beer. Hoppy with a hint of wine tart/sour coming through near the finish.

Sep 6, 2009 2002 750ml shared with the Rochester Gathering, August 2009. Very wine-ish in character. The age has actually brought our some out some sourness, like cherries. Very smooth, but slick body. Silky and easy to drink. Glad I got to share it with people that appreciated it.

Sep 1, 2003 I will give this credit for finally changing my perspective on "what a barleywine is". Had long held it to be within drawn lines and when one fell out it might be disqualified. What nonsense. This wasn't shocking, but I had the hardest time pulling out what I was tasting. Just the wildest flavor. Very enjoyable. Much more akin to what I think of finding in many Belgian offerings than an American barleywine. After tasting so many others I would love to drink a whole bottle of this leading to the ensuing coma. WOW.

Oct 21, 2004 Wow...the aroma of this one is unreal...vanilla, wood, coconut, cedar, pine, grapefruit etc...The flavor is solid and complex, but doesn’t wuit match the aroma. The aging in wine casks comes thru and makes this otherwise typical west coast barleywine a standout.

Jun 23, 2009 Bottle. Low creamy and quickly disappearing off-white head. Hazy dark red body. Fruity caramel cocoa aroma. Alcohol dominated flavor with cocoa plum and bluberries. Smooth creamy. Low carbonation. Long aftertaste.
