Big dark brown pour with little head. Smell is sweet and oaky and balanced. Flavor is quite balanced as well with oak and toffee in there. Mouthfeel is creamy and smooth and just right. Overall, very enjoyable - a great brew!

In short: A splendid highly drinkable woody Barley Wine. Tasty body and well-hopped.
How: Tab at brewpub. Pre-Dark-Lord-Day party 2008
The look: Brown body with a medium beige head
In long: Lots of dark fruits, lots of dark caramel, some brown sugar and some red fruits. I expected yet another strong boring bourbon barrel presence but instead I got a tasty woody/cedar/oak sensation. Expertly positioned hops greatly increase drinkability with a sharp but short bitterness, a tree bark flavour and a light citric touch. Unlike the other Wooden Hell this one is an excellent concept. The other one was a very bad idea and it burnt down immediately, Satan then fired his contractor and got himself a nice Asbestos Hell.

Draft at Flossmoor during the pre-DLD event. This poured deep brown in color with practically no head. The nose was sweet but balanced with aromas of vanilla, caramel and dark fruit. The palate was smooth with solid weight and good flavor concentration. I definitely preferred this to Sheol and wish they had bottled this one!

Pours dark brownish to burgandy and is opaque. Smell is oaky and strong with welcomed alcohol and rich complex malt. Smooth oaky, creamy caramel richness in the flavor. Good rich body and dark red fruity and dark sour cherry notes as well. One of my favorites of theirs, and there were many good beers on...

Draft @ Flossmoor, pre-DLD fest. Pours a murky brown color; mostly headless. Excellent amounts of bright citrus, red fruits and fruit leather and brown sugar in the aroma. Dense, chewy brown sugar, intricate whiskey / toasted bourbon barrel character; soft texture and carbonation; beautiful blend of bourbon and dried red fruits, fruit leather. Awesome beer. Enormous finish, showing leather, dried cherries, and brown sugar; some bourbon lingering.

Draft at the brewpub. Cloudy brown with a small head. The beer has mellowed a bit as the wood and vanilla has melded. There’s some fresh caramel and grape also. Damn good barley wine.

pours dark brown, no head. aroma: wood, peat, vanilla. the sweetness of the barleywine is not muted by the smokines in the bourbon barrel aging. i would have loved more bourbon aroma and flavor to have settled in the nose and mouth. overall, i enjoyed this more than i usually enjoy barleywines.
