Oct 26, 2007 Pours a cloudy orange color with some ruby tones into the snifter. There was a quick inch of white head and a ring of sticky lacing. The scent was very hoppy and fresh with some fresh fruit, alcohol and caramel. Initially there is a bold, spicey hop flavor with some malt, honey and fruit in the middle. A very strong alcohol presence is apparent in the finish. Very sticky and coating mouthfeel with a warming burn. A nice after dinner drink to drop in the snifter.

Oct 21, 2007 Very good, and I don’t even like barleywine. The aroma is yeasty and fruity, hints of raisin and brown sugar. The flavor is delicate maltiness at first building up to bitterness and alcohol in the aftertaste. The transition is smooth and not abrupt as I feared. I’m definitely going to buy more of this.

Oct 20, 2007 Bottle (pint) shared with three dudes at Tre små rum, Göteborg, Sweden. Wonderful reddish brown colour with a creamy off-white head. Intense fruity and caramelly malt aroma with aggressive piney and floral hops. Medium bodied and smooth, good balance with a long bitterness.

Oct 16, 2007 Great barley wine. Pours deep rich copper. Smell of pines and grapefruit. Soft fruity notes on the palate and rich burnt caramel, giving way to sticky pine notes.

Oct 12, 2007 I sampled the 500 ml bottle, which dispensed a clear, deep copper bodied ale with an outstanding, oversized tan head that stayed put for the entire sampling and left some terrific lacing. Not surprisingly, there’s a lot of hop aroma and grainy malt sweetness in the nose. Palate entry is syrupy sweet, with a huge caramel and raisin backbone and a smooth, creamy mouthfeel. The rich body is nicely balanced with a heavy hop bomb and alcohol dryness.
