Rating 4444. 750 ml bottle shared by b3shine- thanks again, Beau! Bottle 552/5520, according to Chris. Pours a cloudy amber color with a beige ring for a head. Notes of caramel, vanilla, dried fruits, brown sugar, coconut, and bourbon throughout. Medium-bodied, with moderate carbonation and a sweet, warming mouthfeel. Nice barrel aged barley wine.

750 ml bottle to snifter (shared by me with the group; thanks darkmoon66). Looks good; a murky brown with off-white lacing. Smells good too; sweet and boozy. Tastes like it smells with a nice mouthfeel. Good stuff!

750ml, corked & caged bottle, 2012 edition, #568/5520. pours a hazy, deep russet brown with hints of ruby capped by a whispy, beige head that leaves tight rings of lace. aroma is excellent with heavy notes of toffee, brown sugar, vanilla, molasses, and baked pie crusts backed by dried figs, raisin bread, cinnamon, and heavy toasted oak with spicy, rich whiskey emerging as it warms. flavor is truly superb with smooth, rich, rye whiskey, oak, vanilla, and toasted coconut up front backed by more sweet toffee, baked pears, cinnamon rolls, with dry, earthy hops, and subtle orchard fruits brining up the back end. palate is medium bodied with light carbonation and a lingering finish of sweet brown sugar and warming, spicy whiskey. overall, an excellent barrel aged barleywine.

Had on tap and from a bomber. Orangish gold pour with thin head. Nose of orange, sweet malt, booze, and wood. Taste follows the nose with a decent punch of hops for an aged beer. Tap version was really good. Bottled version was a bit oxidized. Choosing to look more at the better experience.

This beer always impresses me. Love the whiskey aroma and toffee. Lots of Carmel and vanilla with notes of spice. Mouthfeel is full and smooth. I will buy this beer every year.

Poured from bottle on 04/26/13. Deep brown with medium tan head. Tons of boozyness, vanilla, toffee flavors come through. This was a solid BA barley wine that I think will get better with age.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours golden orange with a one finger white head. The nose is bananas, caramel, brown sugar with hints of cinnamon. The taste is medium high sweet and medium low bitter. It's kind of one dimensional though. I definitely don't detect any of the barrel. The texture is soft and creamy, body is heavy and finish is long.
