Thanks for sharing Alex (sick_boy282). Pours with a cloudy orange body topped by a medium thick, off-white head with some lacing. It’s sweet and malty with notes of licorice and woody hops. Full bodied, dry and warming.

Jul 12, 2008 Bottle (RBESG 2008):Hazy, deep orangey coloured, quite stable off-white head; leather and roasted malt in the nose; stronger bitter-sweet flavour with a light acidity, full bodied; lingering chocolatey-malty, dry bitter finish. Good......

Jul 3, 2008 Bottle. Heavy malt aroma of caramel and nutty, moderate notes of perfume and leather for the hops and yeast, with raisin, date, brown sugar and smokey in the background. Head is creamy, slightly off white with good lacing and is mostly lasting. Color is hazy orange/brown. Flavor is moderately sweet and lightly acidic to start, and finishes lightly acidic and bitter. Palate is medium, oily, and has a soft to lively carbonantion. It finishes a little astringent. A nice barley wine with a surprising smokiness to it.

Jul 2, 2008 Courtesy dragonstout. Pours a hazy copper color with a foamy, beige head that settles quickly. The aroma shows notes of dark fruit, caramel, earthy hops, and some oaky vanilla. The flavor is much the same with the vanilla and oak pushing forward with some caramel sweetness and citrus fruit. Some bitter hops tries to push through but the oak seems to wash away all the flavors. Medium-full bodied with a smooth mouthfeel that is slightly warming with a long, sweet finish. This had a nice sweet flavor, but the oak seemed to dominate everything. A little less oak would have done well.
