Jun 2, 2004 Big malt, oak, vinous, aroma. Burnt marzipan alcohol sweetness in the nose. Notes of orange chocolate and mint. Murky brown colour with off white head that recedes to a swirling cover and ring. Soured red wine and oak underscore a big caramel maltiness with assertive but balanced citrusy hops. Smooth, silky port-like mouthfeel. Full and rich. This I’d go out of my way to find again. Delicious. Bottle (Batch #4 11/02 - enjoyed with beerbuzzmontreal, MartinT and Rastacouere).

Nov 10, 2004 Vintage 2001 bottle.
Man, I just love American barley wines :-) Hazy brown beer with a thick tan head. Sweet fruity and bitter hoppy aroma with tones of prunes, oranges, clementines and a touch of alcohol. Flavor is awesome. Raisins, prunes, bitter/flower hops, cream, fruit, orange peel, cardamom, yummi! Soft as hell. Goood one!

Jul 26, 2005 RBSG ’05 - a 2000 bottle - more lottery tickets, and another prize, imo, a very sweet fruity aroma, hints of hops, tobacco, and chocolate with a tinge of smoke. pours a cloudy carmel color, and features a sweet caramel malt base, highlighted by lite grassy hops, sweet fruits, a hint of wood, some tobacco and chocolate. all of these are rolled together sublimely into a smooth, velvety rich mouthfeel with no hint of the alcohol and just a fantastic taste left on your tounge. one of the great highlights of the tasting for me.

Jul 14, 2008 2001 3 Liter bottle shared by acrdz. Thanks Mike! Wow, this was a treat. I didn’t write any tasting notes down for this one because I was enjoying it so much. Only a bit oxidized with very nice brown sugar, caramel, and dark fruit flavors. Alcohol well hidden. This was probably the best barleywine I’ve had, second only to Midnight Sun M.

Feb 18, 2006 Updated: Feb 20, 2006Batch #3 from Nov. 2001 -- Thanks for this one The_Beer_God! Awesome red-brown body. Excellent aroma consisting of fruits and some hop remnats which is amazing considering the age. Outstanding taste of dark fruits, almost a red wine type. One of the best beers I’ve ever had.
