muenster (339), Sevierville, Tennessee, USA Apr 24, 2007 Bottle. Split with NachlamSie, congratulations on 900! Pours hazy amber/copper a perfect beige head sits atop. Aroma is full of sweet caramel malty notes, and a beautiul hop bouquet full of pineapple and citrus. Flavor is sweet malts, nice bitter hop touches, and a very wine like finish, warm from alcohol. Throughout the mouthfeel is rich, and allows for the flavor to linger. anders37 (4516), Malmö, Sweden Apr 24, 2007 Bottle. Pours a slightly hazy amber color with a white head. Sweet malty slightly yeasty aroma with some spicy hints. Sweet malty alcoholic and fruity flavor with hints of yeast and caramel. Sweet malty dry finish with bitterness in the aftertaste. MadIndian (987), Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 23, 2007 Bottle from Isaacs. Cloudy golden pour with 2 finger thick head. Strong alcohol aroma topped off with sweetness and bread. Candy taste with malt. Alot of complexity going on in this one. Damn good Brew. Skyview (4007), Papoose Jct., Minnesota, USA Apr 21, 2007 12-oz bottle, courtesy of Cellars Wine & Spirits in St Paul, MN. Pours a thick, cloudy, amber with a lot of carbonation and a lumpy light tan head. A very sticky lacing. Aroma is fruity, peaches, sweet apples, roasted barley grain and some grassy hops.

Aroma of malt, sweetness, dried fruit and hints of caramel. Very fruity flavour of sweetness, citrus, caramel and ends up very classic tasty and nice. crushinat0r (227), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Apr 4, 2007 Deep colour, nice head. Pretty typical for the barley wine style. Very strong alcoholic smell with a hint of fruit (apple). Taste is similar, strong alcohol, malty, hint of sharp apple. Nice barley wine but a little on the strong side. Willin8 (55), Massapequa, New York, USA Mar 31, 2007 This pours like beer *should* look like. Deep brown near the top fading to amber at the bottom with a medium white head. Aroma is caramel and hoppy. Flavor is a rich hop/malt balance with oak notes. Finishes with an acceptable level of alcohol burn in the back of the throat. Very nice. tronraner (1906), Maryville, Tennessee, USA Mar 22, 2007 12 oz Bottle. Pours hazy rust color with large, long-lasting, tight beige head. The aroma is fruity with lime zest, some papaya, pineapple, and some yeasty spiciness. The flavor is much the same: lime, tropical fruit, corriander. The rye malt is quite apparent, too. Toward the middle the flavor becomes much like rye bread, in fact. Grapefruity hops come out toward the finish, quite prominently, along with some wood and smooth, fruity alcohol. The aftertaste lingers forever, with some bitterness and wood. Very impressive beer, indeed.
