Mar 28, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours dark amber with a huge off-white head. Aroma is plums, grapes, citrus, and bread. Flavor is sweet, fruity, caramel, up front with a very bitter finish. Med. mouthfeel and a bitter aftertaste. This is pretty good, nothing crazy, but interesting and good...Barley wine? Really? huh...

Mar 26, 2009 Bottle, batch 65. Poured amber with a frothy tan head. Sweet aromas of dark fruits, wood, and mustard. The flavor found dark chocolate, caramel, wood, and a background of fruits and hops. Medium to full body, sweet upfront with a mild bitter finish. Nice!

Mar 15, 2009 ’bout 33cl bottle shared with faroeviking.
amber , very small white head.
slightly sour aroma. sunburned beer, hoppy, barley wine’ish.
flavor is raisins, sugar, hops, syrup, sweet yet delicate.
the beer had no best before date printed anywhere, so i’ts anyone’s guess if it was fresh or not. brewer : please print a best before date. I might figure the date from the batch number, but that would be cumbersome when in a shopping situation.

Mar 15, 2009 12oz bottle, batch 71. Dark gold pour with very little head. Sweet,sweet aroma, very similar to the wood version without the woodiness, very good as always from Hair of the Day.

Mar 15, 2009 12oz bottle from a trade, sorry I have no idea who. Batch #71. Pours hazy orange with a minuscule head, more of a ring really. Aromas of caramel, malt, and a hodge podge of hops. Flavors start off pretty nice, with sweeter malts and caramel. But the finish is just all woring for me, leaves a weird unpleasant taste in my mouth.

Mar 12, 2009 No head, but enough bubbles and strength that the aroma is delightful though somewhat limited due to missing bubbles.
Missing head does not matter; the colour is beautiful cognac red, thick as slime(!)
Sweet round starting taste, very nuanced middle, then suddenly bitter, mouthwatering eucalyptus after taste which lasts forever.
Too much of a concentrate, and too strong and lingering an aftertaste. Builds up like a symphony. Finishes like a grunge rock guitar solo.
Great beer; but not for me.
