12oz bottle. Clear reddish amber pour with a medium tan head. Nose of fruit, booze and some dankness. Malty and sugary flavor with a semi-roasty and bitter finish. Not overly impressive, but I like the complexity in flavor.

light brown-orange pour with thin fizzy yellow-beige head.
very apricot-y aroma, with a deep sweetness and heady alcohol. like alcoholic apricot pie.
similar flavor is more assertive, with intense sweet, sour, bitter, and alcohol elements.
as it warms there is more vanilla and oak throughout, and overall it becomes more balanced.
medium-bodied and very smooth, with a long bittersweet hops and alcohol finish.

Nov 29, 2009 Bottle: Pours a transparent dark copper orange with an airy off-white head. Aroma of sweet toasty dark caramel and butterscotch with some oaky whiskey notes. Starts with pretty good caramel malty fullness with some light fruity notes and peaty smoke flavor before a smooth semi-sweet and warming finish. Has good complexity throughout with a nice balance of Scotch flavor. An enjoyable barleywine.

Nov 29, 2009 Bottle into tulip @ the Beer Engine. Did NOT realize this was 12.5% which may have accounted for my state at the end of the night. Anyways, great clear orangey/amber color with a bit of tan head. Booze on the nose and pretty upfront in the flavor. Slightly sweet almost raisiny but the alcohol overpowers a lot of what’s going on in the beer.
