COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
X was brewed to commemorate ten years of great beers brewed at Fox River Brewing Co. This barley wine style ale is amber in color and best consumed leisurely. Slightly sweet and full bodied, the raisin and pear flavor is created through a blending of biscuit malts and just enough hops to balance a lingering warm finish. Enjoy on any occasion, but perfect after dinner, with desserts or strong cheese. Drink today or cellar bottle in a cool, dark place. Cheers!

Poured a hazy reddish amber color with a thin off-white head. The aroma was tart and fruity with notes of cherries and alcohol. Tart flavor with a strong taste of oranges. Tastes like something might be going on in here. Light to medium bodied.

kp’s Fest of 26 Medium brown with a thin head. Some caramel in the aroma, but overall, not too complex. The flavor is off, sour and infected. Thin, lacks complexity.

KP’s fest. Lighter than expected pour- light amber with a thin off white head. Aroma is actually pretty good- with slight spice, some citrus and spicy hops, and a thick sweet sticky malt profile. But then you get to the flavor and realize the sourness- must be a bacterial infection or somthing- which is wierd since you dont see that much in a strong BW. Obvioulsy weak body, with a light tart acidic finish. Would have been nice if fresh.

Shag (2283) - Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA - AUG 28, 2006
A copper color with a strong citrus and caramel aroma. The flavor caught me off guard and not what I was expecting in a barley wine. It was quite sour with a belgian like quality to it. Overall it was different but decent enough.

JCapriotti (1379) - Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA - AUG 17, 2006
2006 GTMW. Clear copper; thin white hoppy IPA/brown aroma. Thick caramel hop flavor, double hopped brown with light milk chocolate. Almost a bunch of stuff messily thrown together, but comes out okay.

Spotted this bottle in the cooler at Fox River’s Appleton location while getting a six pack for the raod. Aroma was of fermented sweet fruit. Pour from the big green botte was a dark amber with a mahagany hue and small head. Flavor has a lingering fruity plumb. Medium sweet fruit along with the alcohol presence gives your body a warming feeling. Was little harsh on palate but mellowed out by third glass. Decent brew.
