May 3, 2008 Updated: May 4, 20082008 Vintage. Aroma has notes of apple, raisins, sweet caramel, ripe fruit, alcohol, melon, and citrus hopps. Nice burgundy amber hue with an average off white head that mostly diminished and left some lace. Flavor is sweet raisin caramel malt with a nice fruity hop bitterness on the finish. Palate is full bodied and oily soft with a long finish. Alcohol throughout but not that bad. A very surprising barley wine from a brewery I generally don’t expect much from. This was tasted young and I hope some age will turn this into a very good brew. For $3.99 its not bad, not bad at all!
