Dec 2, 2007 Pours a very dark brown, approaching black. Carbonation and lacing fairly low, but not bad. Roasted, dark malt flavor, not much bitterness. A very nice, Belgian flavor with some roasty, raisiny, fruity flavors dominating. Really a beautiful, complex, very interesting beer.

Dec 2, 2007 A warm, spicy and tasty licorice bomb of a barley wine. 33 cL shared and sipped from snifters. Dark brown with a decently lasting off-white head. Big licorice and spices in the aromatics, some brandy notes. Light sweetness, mild licorice-and-hop bitterness. Thin and boozy and I’d like some more.

Dec 1, 2007 [2003 Draft @ Mug’s Ale House] Poured a lightly hazy red brown color with a small ring of off white bubbles, no lacing. Aroma of nuts, wood, caramel malts, dried fruits, and light oxidation. Taste of tart cherries, nuts, wood, spices, with toffee, light roast, and a bit of alcohol in the finish.

Nov 27, 2007 Bottle 0.75 l. Very intense and deep almost non-existent head. Aroma has plums, liqourice, malts and spiciness. Flavor is initially mainly liqourice and anise, even a bit too much so. It took a while to get over it, but there were the usual suspects, plums, raisins. More on the sweet side, but very well hidden alcohol. The liqourice is very strong, but still surprisingly balanced as a whole.

Nov 26, 2007 Updated: Jan 5, 2009Dark semi-opaque cherry color with almost no head. Slightly sour aroma with brown sugar and cinnamon spiced apple notes. Taste is sharp and raisiny with caramel and spice burn at the onset, and ebbs to smooth balance. Finish is lightly carbonated with biscuity taste and alcoholic warming. Rating #600. Draft 13 oz/$7.50
