Mar 11, 2008 Draught at the GD tap room. Big, hoppy barleywine. Deep copper coloured with a frothy tan head. Huge hops in the aroma but also some caramel and candy. Flavour is more hops and caramel but also some bourbon and candied fruit. Slight piney bitterness in the finish. Pleasant and enjoyable.

Mar 9, 2008 Bottle, bought @ Øltorvet.dk.
Pours a wonderful brownish red with a big, creamy yellowish head on top. Aroma is hoppy, nice fruitiness - both from hops and malt. Grapefruit, orange peel and raisins. Lightly vinious. Medium carbonation, wonderfully oily mouthfeel. Flavour is greatly sweet at first, lots of caramel, vinious, port, oakiness. Finish is nicely bitter with a clear dose of hops flavours. Pine and grapefruit dominate amongst the wonderful alcohol.

Mar 6, 2008 22 oz. bottle, coppery nose with nice caramel colored head, amber orange color, starts off smooth barley wine and then hits you with the hops and alcohol, would have liked a little smoother finish

Mar 2, 2008 Sweet hoppy nose. Deep amber/copper color with small head. Intense maltiness, with an equal intensity of hops. The high alcohol was surprisingly masked well until the very end of the finish. Nice tight bubbles, perfect effervescence. An excellent Barley Wine--perhaps one of the best.

Mar 1, 2008 Beautiful pour, mahogany with a foamy tan head. Bigger head than other BW styles. Nose is quite nice, with hoppy pineapple along with some apricot and malt. Flavor is sweet and malty, yet at the same time slightly bitter, and quite complex. Quite enjoyable.
