May 31, 2008 Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a thin orangey head. The aroma is very sweet and dominated by over ripe fruits. THe flavor is sweet matly with notes of over ripe fruits as well as alcohol, leading to a dry fruity finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

Dec 23, 2002 Bottled - 2000 vintage sampled in Decmber 2002. Amber colur, no head. Grapefruity hop aroma. Malty, thick, fruity and syrupy. Clean, bold, filling mouthfeel and lingering hop bitterness. If there is such a thing as a middle-of-the-road in barleywines this one comes close.

opaque rust brown, whispy head, sweet fruity aroma, light body, rich dry malty flavor, fruity essence, just enough hops to balance without being hoppy or malty, bitter finish, upon warming the malt character comes out, but never reallyshines
