Mar 30, 2008 Updated: Apr 5, 2008Thanks Gumby, I still hate the sea gull. Poured a cola brown. Aroma is a melange of sweetness and richness. Vanilla, oak, brown sugar, malt, malt and more malt. The flavor is deep and rich, malt dominant, with the slightest hint of booziness. Life is good.

Mar 23, 2008 Updated: Aug 9, 2008thanks to cmubeerman for this monster. deep mahogany color bordering on opacity. minimal head. strong apple/pear rind aroma with plenty of alcohol. lots of wood, lots of honey. very sweet aroma. flavor is super alcoholic, possibly too much so. sweet and fruity, a fantastic barleywine. a bit vinegary., lots of malt and dried fruit. pretty full bodied and chewy. goes down easy. a stellar beer with tremendous balance.... rerate: a lot less hot this time. ... every time i put this glass down i’m surprised again by how awesome it is. uprating.

Mar 23, 2008 Deep burgundy brown pour with little to no head. Notes of brandy and wood in the nose on a sweet, toasted malt wave. Sweet malt flavor with touches of dark, dried fruit and a sharp alcohol bite. Smooth on the palate with a lingering sweetness. Wonderful.

Mar 20, 2008 Not really what I expected out of this. Thanks to Dirty Martini for this. Shared w/imadeadguy and was not as impressed as him. Smelled like wood and tasted really warm going down. Very warming with an overpowering alcohol taste. Got few hints of vanilla and dark fruit. Will try again to re-rate it.

Mar 18, 2008 Thanks to TheRealBastard for sharing his 07. Pours deep black with small brown head. Aromas of caramel, rasins, and sugar. Wonderful flavors of malt, caramel, oak, and fruits. Wow, awesome BW!

Mar 14, 2008 Dark black body with a small creamy light brown head. Huge rum soaked fruit, raisins, caramel and molassas. Sweet fruit flavor, light raisins, caramel. Medium full body with moderately low carbonation and a very smooth creamy sweet finish.

Mar 12, 2008 750, corked and baled. Thanks, after4ever and IBrew2or3! Pours a hazy very dark brown with an off-white head. Boozy oak and sweet toffee aroma. Toffee, caramel and vanilla taste. Semi-sweet oak finish. Maybe it was because I was expecting to be blown away by this beer that I wasn’t. Don’t get me wrong, this is nice stuff. But earth-shattering? No.
