vferg (7), Livingston, New Jersey, USA does not count Feb 19, 2008 The flavors that come out of this barley wine are like no other. This has got to be one of the most enjoyable barley wines I have had to date. t4h2c0 (65), seattle, USA Mar 17, 2008 On tap at hardliver 07 at Brouwers. This was the best barley wine there by far! Aged in bourbon barrels this beer pours brownish and has a complex nose that will clear your sinuses. This beer will tear you up at 14% and thats just what i’m looking for. Rare and hard to get so try it if you ever get the chance. One of the best barley wines around!!!!! adrian910ss (1032), philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 23, 2008 22 oz bomber. Pours a dark coppery amber with a medium sized beige head. Aroma of vanilla, butterscotch, oak and malt. Taste of vanilla oak, malt, dry fruit and alcocol. clears out the sinuses. Very warm and uplifting to say the least. wnhay (722), Princeton, New Jersey, USA Mar 16, 2006 Pours like maple syrup with good lace on the side of the glass. Looks like the Old Numbskull. Hints of maple syrup, caramel, vanilla, coconut, cognac, chocolate honey, molasses and other stuff are in the nose. Taste is remarkable because of the smoothness. Syrupy is the best word to describe it with great alcohol burn and many complexities coming through. It is quite buttery with cognac and various fruits including plum coming into play. Palate is thick with a great alcohol burn. I can’t shut up about this because it is the best beer I have had in over a month. A most impressive creation. harlequinn (2746), Tacoma, Washington, USA Mar 13, 2006 Amazing appearance, and a monster aroma. Super sweer, like drinking fresh maple syrup. Nutty and syrupy, with maple and honey, sweet dark molasses abd rich brown sugar. Absolutely the most amazing finish I have ever had in a barleywine.
