Feb 18, 2008 Tap @ Magnolia for 2008 SBM. Poured a deep hazed golden brown color with a beige head. The aroma is thick with notes of raisin pulp (is that what you call the middle of them?). It smelled like a box of Sun Maid. The flavor was of raisins and sweet malt. Medium bodied.

Feb 11, 2008 Wooohoo. Great to try a beer with this name (and it’s over 10% too!). Tried on tap at Magnolia pub during strong ale month. Great pub/restaurant. Creamy microbubble head. Deep red color. Sweet. Alcohol well hidden. Delicious.

Feb 21, 2007 4oz sample in a full size tulip at brewery - Aroma of prunes, plums, raisin, alcohol and earty hops. Pours deep mahogony with a small head and good lacing. Flavor matches aroma with strong alcohol and a deep fruitiness. The hops shine a little too brightly for my tastes. Palate is tart and sticky. A really nice barleywine I’d love to have with a little age on it. Very tasty none the less.
