Feb 25, 2007 Bottles 2004 and 2005. both were similar. Pours a hazy light amber/orangey copper with a dimishing head. Aroma is moslty new american hops like simcoe and amarillo- lots of grapefruit, citrus, orange peel, some mango, but gets to be a little catty, and solvent-like when fresh, when aged though it loses some of the harsh hop character and smooths out nicely. Tons of hops in the flavor with more simcoe to dominate but also has a ton of malt backbone, toffee, and moslty caramel malts. Fruity flavors in the middle, apple, dark dried figs, and finishes with a nice rouded bitterness. The 04 destroys the 05 though.

Feb 23, 2007 Bottle: Pours a dark, musty copper color with little to no head. Moderate lacing. Aroma of citrus and floral hops, some sweetness detected. Taste is citrus and floral tones, some dark fruitiness, raison, and a sweet malty sensation. Alcohol warming in the finish. Delicious!

Feb 22, 2007 Updated: Feb 23, 2007Dark mahogany with a medium off-white head. Smell is sweet and alcoholic, with caramel, honey, and berries. Flavor is sweet, with caramel, honey, hops, and roasted malt. Too sweet for me. Mouthfeel is fantastic; luscious and creamy. Not my favorite barleywine by any strecth, but decent.

Feb 18, 2007 12 oz bottle. Pours a cloudy orange-brown with a one finger off-white head. The aroma is of hops, malt, yeast (sweetbread), citrus and smoke. Sweet creamy taste of hops and honey. Smooth and hoppy with a carbonated finish. Very good.

Feb 17, 2007 (Bottle) Obtained in a trade with Blankboy. Thanks. Pours a headless deep mahogany body. Nose of smooth creamy malt, bread, and cherry. Flavour is smooth... very smooth. Great malt character and a mild hop tinge to counter this malt monster. Lovely stuff. Is it worth the price... iffy, but good beer ain’t cheap.

Feb 15, 2007 2006 12-ounce bottle. Bottle conditioned did this bottle good. Very cloudy with no head. Aroma of hops, malt, honey, and yeast. Flavor was superb. Hops, citrus, bread, honey, and malt. The palate was smooth, especially given the alcohol content. Alcohol warmed on the way down and did not interfere with the flavors. A truly amazing Barely Wine.
