sweet hoppy and malty aroma. sweetness reminds me of dried figs, but is drier than that.
flavor is sweet malty, licorice, faint dried fruit, then hops kick in for real and makes it piny, grapefruity, ends bitter. nice ride. palate is very smooth, lots of "bite". One of the best barley wines i’ve had. Great winter warmer with the 10% alc. TampaBrew (805), Tampa, Florida, USA

Big body with a great hop balance. Delicious and very easy drinking. One of my favorite american barley wine for sure. CaryTheDude (1113), Longmont, Colorado, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 8, 2009 Pretty badass barley wine that I aged about a year or so. Hop presence is still very apparent in the nose and flavor. Hops dominate, but a nice malt presence with some sweet, dark fruits balance it nicely. A nice bitter finish goes perfectly. Even my mom liked this one. Wombata (74), Kobe, Japan

Comment: 2007 bottle (aged 2 years). A solid, aged barley wine. kwerikson (80), burlington, New Jersey, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Sep 5, 2009 poured out red, brown, ruby colored. great taste with a lot of barley that was nice and bitter but a subtle sweetness. lacing around the glass and the one that i had was about 2 years old. this would most likely age very well and i am planning on cellaring this one. the price was nice and i will drink this one again.
