$.49 special at family liquor. Pours ruby with a thin off white head from a hard pour. Malty. A bit of floral hops and brown sugar in the nose. Flavor was mainly malt also, with some nice bitter fruit and a very light raisin sweetness. Thick, syrupy, and quick. A nice barley wine...

22 oz. bottle from late 2003. Has a copper color as I decant the contents. Nice two finger head which sticks around leaving a beautiful lace. Malty sweet smells along with floral hops.Taste is caramel sweetness balanced by perfumy floral hops with a alcohol bite in the background. Full bodied, the mouthfeel is rich and creamy. This brew already tastes like a well aged barley wine. Excellent. sept 2004

Draft at the Blind Tiger, 2004 version. Dark red / brown pour with thin head. Aroma of mostly caramel malt, so sweet almost fruity. Very much like a barleywine. The flavor is similar, sugar and caramel malt; maybe a slight tartness in the finish. Quite nice to drink.

Brown with a off white creamy head. Deep malty sweet aroma - sugary taste / aroma. Some hops - bitter ones. Light warmth. Very pleasant. More like a Barley wine ... Good!

Bottle, 12 fl. oz. Pours a dark brown beer, with a yellow/brown head. The aroma is caramel and raisins, with notes of sweetness. Flavor starts with caramel and sweetness, and finishes with bitterness. Nice complex flavor, with a smooth mouthfeel. Nice complex beer, with typical american sweetness.

Aroma has raisins, sugar and caramel malts, some wine and hops. Clear, brown-red coloured with a thin, off-white head. Taste is sweet and becomes more hopbitter towards the finish. Raisins, caramel malt, sugar and hops in it. Reasonable balanced. Some alcohol noticeable. Decent brew.

Nice dark ruby brown beer with a lasting off-white head. Malt, bread, brown sugar and caramel aroma, some floral hops, some port and alcohol. Malty sweet flavour with some bitterness, pine and resin flavour. If this is an American strong ale, what does a barley wine taste like, these days???
