Apr 1, 2008 (3/4/08) Bottle at Kulminator in Antwerp. Deep amber with a big consistent beige head. Aroma of floral, a bit piny hops, with some citrus, some malt and caramel. A lot more malt as the beer warms up a bit. Sweet flavor at first with malt and caramel and later a lot of juicy bitter hops, some citrus and notes of alcohol. The variety of hops used is actually quite apparent in the taste. Medium to full body. Not what I would refer to as Barley Wine but very good anyway, gets even better when warm.

Mar 31, 2008 Bottle. Pours a hazy orange coloured beer. Aroma of oranges, red berries. Sweet citrusfruity taste, even slightly citric. Very thick mouthfeel. Alcoholic and a bit grainy towards the end.

Mar 27, 2008 Thanks to Ramenen. Bottle: Excellent hop content, not an IPA but heavily loaded.

Mar 27, 2008 Bottle. Bought in New Beer Wholesaler in NYC. Wow. Pours into a golden/orange color. Very fruity and very hoppy (up my alley), however it is drier than a IIPA. Excellent well balanced, the alcohol is pretty well hidden (be careful) and enjoy.

Mar 25, 2008 Updated: Mar 22, 2009Updated Rating 3/22/09 - 12 oz. bottle, batch 71; pours flat and clear gold; strong, fruity, syrupy, velvet texture; raw, grainy, lemon, sugars are heavy; long, dry, sticky finish; lots of candy malt; i love this stuff, but fresh FFTW has it by a nose
Original Rating 3/25/08 (Overall 4.4) - 12 oz. bottle - a long overdue rating of a beer that would probably be on my short list for a desert island; monster white head spills with fruit aromas that are sweet, malty and slightly sour; appearance is cloudy and light orange; drinks with a mouth full and just pure cream; one of the greats

Mar 24, 2008 Timfoolery scored this bottle on a trip to Oregon. Poured a golden color. Full flavored barleywine with a close to perfect balance of malt and hops. Had a mild aftertaste that I just couldn’t quite place. I guess I’ll have to try it again.

Mar 24, 2008 I picked this one up on a trek in Oregon. Fred is a golden-color barleywine that could double as a light, Belgian Trippel. Full-flavored and good control on the palate.

Mar 20, 2008 Wow, this was a completely different beer between the first and the third sip. Either way it poured with a deep golden, almost shiny color. Had a lingering white head and packed an intense aroma of a number of hops. After letting it breathe it settled into itself and became very drinkable with a very pleasant warm maltiness to complement the wide reaching hop flavor. One of the most drinkable barleywines I’ve had.
