Jan 10, 2009 2008 12oz from Bottleworks. Brilliant ruby, hazy amber pour with absolutely minimal head. Nose of pine, funky french cheese, maple. Luscious, velvety mouthfeel with a touch of heat and stickiness. Flavor is robust brown suggary malt and undertones of leather, jerky, smoke and dark wood. Notes of Fred, really... this is most definitely a HOTD beer. Very well balanced, unique and intriguing BW; i’m very impressed. Would love to try this aged...

Jan 8, 2009 12 ounce room temp 2008 bottle in Duvel glass. Decanted clear amber wih lasting ring and some lace. Caramelized brown sugar port wood and fresh aromatic floral hop aroma. Caramelized brown sugar raisin wood bready flavor, not excessively fruity. Dry bitter finish. Perfectly blended complex flavors. Full body and medium-low carbo. Hard to imagine a better barleywine. A new fave.

Jan 7, 2009 Marvelous drink. Huge hop character atop an incredible fruit-laced, honey-sweetened, caramelized barleywine malt backbone. The hops really shine with fantastic spicy character and floral components. Slight herbal bits with notable raisin and plum. Incredible complexity that is well matched to a fantastic hop lineup and a well hidden alcohol content.

Dec 27, 2008 2008 bottle. Aroma of cinnamon and caramel. Dark amber. Tastes very much like a good scotch ale, however you describe one of those. Balanced malt and caramel.
