Pours a reddsish/brown with a small beige head. Smoked meat, figs, caramel, leather, peat, vinous and alcohol. It is very boozy and warms you up. Malty caramel sweetness comes through among an array of other such as above. I would call categorise this a smoked barley wine.
Superb stuff

UPDATED: JUN 9, 2013 Draft at Farmers Cabinet. Dark brown copper pour. Lasting foamy ring. Funky aroma. Ascetic. Band Aid. Tastes of rich syrupy red/brown fruits. Heady alcohol. Molasses. Bit overpowering. Vegemite. Strong and sweet.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
On tap at the Farmer’s Cabinet for beer week. Aroma of smoke, fire, and more smokey goodness. Pours deep red brown with not a lot of lacing at all. The taste is super smokey but oddly sweet. I would describe it like burnt bazooka joe bubble gum. As it warmed, it kept getting sweeter and smokier. Very one-dimensional in taste but a delightful smoke barleywine.

500 ml bottle from The Wine and Cheese Place. The date and batch area is blank. Pours a hazy cocoa brown with a small beige head that settles into a ring. Aroma of dried, smoked meats (jerky), figs, caramel, leather, peat, and booze that warms the nostrils. The flavor starts sweet and full, like a barley wine; caramel, dark fruits. Then it gives way to mellow smoke, peat, and booze, with some rye spice at the end. Full-bodied, with a smooth, boozy mouthfeel and modest carbonation. I think this was a 2009 or 2010 bottle, so the age has smoothed and mellowed it out some, based on other ratings I’m seeing.

(Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm, 18 May 2013) Dark brown colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, smoky nose with smoke, dried fruit, dark bread, figs and a touch of oak wood. Malty, smoky taste with notes of dried fruit, smoke, peat, dark bread, prunes, raisins and spices (clove, nutmeg). Fairly sweet and vinous finish. Full body, quite sweet. Surprisingly balanced for a smoked barley wine. Tasty and powerful. Very nice.
4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Almost no head. Sweet smoke, fruits and caramell on the nose. Taste is smoke, fruit, sugary brown caramell, smoked meat, biltong with a little bitternes in the end. I really love this, it’s one of my favorite local beers.

500 ml bottle at home - served in an oversized wine glass. Pours dark red brown with a greyish hue, small faint off white head. Aroma is smoked indeed, some typical Islay peat as well, cherries, rhum. Medium body with sweetsour taste, alcohol burn in the end. No carbonation. Aftertaste is smokey. Taste is plums, smoked malt. Okay I guess.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
50 cl. bottle. Batch # 749A. Deep red-brown colour, thin tan head. Sweet aroma with a hearthy amount of caramel malts, leather, dark, dried fruits, hints of alcohol. Citrus hops and smoked ham. Complex aroma. Sweet and smoked taste. Full body and a thick feel. Finishes long lasting sweet with smoke, alcohol, spices and leather. A smoked Barley Wine sounds basically like a good idea, that would give you a complex, "high-octane" beer. However, this one lacks a bit more bitterness to be really great. Still a very good beer.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Smak och doft av torkad frukt, fikon, karamell, plommom, hjortron, och malt. Barley wine känsla, söt, oljig i konsistensen. Utebliven rök och en aning sötsliskig men med en bra beska.
