Keg. Floral hop and sweet dried fruit aroma. Sweet brown sugar and fruity flavour. Something like a hopped muscat! Would be great as a dessert wine alternative.

Bottle 355ml. Magnificent. Aroma is fruity, with berries, caramel, dough, and alcohol. Taste is very sweet, with light bitter notes, and long length. Palate is syrupy, and full bodied. Brown, with a frothy white head.

Pours a deep, ruby red color with a whispy white head head. Nose is fruit and a malty sweetness. Taste is sweetness, fruits and a good amount of sticky astringency at the end. Great brew, similar to Bigfoot barleywine

A reddish beer with a very good beige foam at first, which quickly disappears into some small foam rings.
Very strong aromas of alcohol and caramel.
Taste the same, with some hints of wood and chocolate as well.
A small hint of bitterness balances very well with the sweetness of the malts. The hops are there very pleasantly. Its a thick, full body beer, which you can enjoy for a long time, cause its hard to drink it quickly.

Poured from a 12oz bottle very dark with almost zero head. Sweet smells of raisin, malts and backed up with the hops. Taste is amazing. Very good beer.

This was a really good barleywine. It poured a reddish-brown color and was perfectly balanced in flavor. Highly recommended.

Ignore what the ignorant bleating consensus says on this one; this is some top of the line product for the style, darn near nailed it, I should say. Taste, trust your judgment, and believe.

UPDATED: AUG 3, 2005 Pours a hazy light brown with a short lived head. Strong hoppy aromas give a hint of the flavors awaiting your first sip. Flavor is complex, quite bitter, hoppy and somewhat red wineish. Finish is warm and balanced with the alcohol coming through in the aftertaste. A nice barley wine.

Really loved this one. An aroma of chocolate and caramel and it is a very creamy beer. I was highly pleased to try this and hope to drink it on many more occasions.
