Dec 5, 2006 2004 Bottle provided by Beerdrenched (thanks!) - Pours dark bronze with a crimson hue and tan head. The aroma has lots of dark roasted malts, caramel and hazelnut. The aroma is a bit musty, but considering it is at least two years old that is fine. Thick body with light soft carbonation. Flavors start with lots of dark malts. There is also a good amount of dark fruits in the mix along with roastiness and a bit of ABV burn. The finish has much of the initial taste with some spiciness and woody hopiness. It is surprising there would be any hops left after two years. Very nicely crafted barleywine.

Dec 3, 2006 Nice head for a barley wine. Aroma is vinous with grape and dark plums. Flavour is rich and thick but the alcohol is noticeable and its quite sweet.

Dec 1, 2006 Bottle from trade with Dubbercody. Thanks Jamie! Pours a nice hazy golden color with a fat frothy off-white head. After the pour there was still a bit of sediment in the bottle. Aroma of caramel, brown sugar, hops and fruit. Taste is outstanding of all of the above items. This is a rich full bodied Barley wine with a complex yet balanced taste. Outstanding!

Nov 17, 2006 12oz bottle, 2004 vintage, courtesy of kramer17801. Thanks, Jason! Bottom of the bottle (the top was clearer) pours a murky brown appearance; off-white head with decent lacing. Very aromatic, hoppy nose: sweet pine and floral notes, hints of grapefruit, slightly herbal. Full mouthfeel: candy sugar, caramel, white pepper; hints of vanilla as well; all surrounded by piney and grapefruit hops, a bit of orange; slightly viscous, chewy, well-balanced. Finishes pleasantly sweet; hoppiness is blended well at this age. Great beer.
