Sep 6, 2009 Bottle. Amber pour with tan head. Spices, hop, and malt flavors. Can’t wait to try from the wood, may mellow sharper notes.

Aug 28, 2009 The bottle looks really good, the beer in the glass modest turbid, almost no head. Very complex and alcoholic aroma. Starts very strong, sweet-hoppy, quite aromatic-hoppy. Shows more and more the alcohol, finish also woody-spicy. Goes down burning. Excellent!

Aug 22, 2009 Bottle @ Shady’s. Pours a beautiful amber color with no head to speak of. Lots of sweet malt on the nose, spicy with caramel. Sticky sweet body, caramel interlude, finishing with a biting hop bitterness. Epic.

Aug 21, 2009 Bottle batch 71 thanks to Cletus! Pours a hazy slight amber deep orange with thick creamy off-white head, lots of lacing. Aroma of citrus hops, slight floral, strong malt backbone, molasses, caramel, some sweetness, and some dried fruits. Flavor matches well and comes together so nicely. Slight alcohol warmth, but just enough to let you know it’s there. Mouthfeel is slightly slick with medium heavy body. One of the few barley wines I have truly enjoyed to date.

Aug 16, 2009 Batch 69. Bottle pours golden brown with a huge head. Aroma of caramel, raisins, and sweet dark fruits. Grassy hops bitterness that quickly fades to alcohol burn and sweetness. Alot of toffee and caramel notes and continues burn. A bit sticky in its mouthfeel. Sweet molasses and maple aftertaste.

Aug 15, 2009 Bottle. Orange in colour with some ruby red in the light, this beer has a large white head with great retention. Aroma is full: lots of fruits, dark cherries, plums, citrus, some flowers and caramel. Mouthfeel is chewy, full in body. There are flavours of caramel, grain, oak, spices with hops in the background. Finish is long and dry.
