Oct 17, 2009 Updated: Oct 30, 2009Bottle at the "mondial de la bière" at Strasbourg. Amber barley wine, too vinous for me. Not very complex for a barlew wine. The overall taste is not sweet and malty.

Oct 11, 2009 Bottled 355ml. 2008 vintage. Beautiful ruby brown with a small lacing creamy beige head. Aroma of sherry, cherry, faint fennel, tobacco (very strong), oak, walnut, a lot of raspberries, cognac, papaya, salt, strawberries, caramel and faint chlorine and acetone .. Sweet complex taste with a raspberry component being rather present. Full bodied, sticky, nutty. Warming on the swallow. Long, slightly salty finish which is reminiscent of caramel, fennel, tobacco, raspberry and oak. Deeply complex.

Oct 7, 2009 Delicious, brown color, murky, alcohol tingles the tongue. Oxidation is present but so is a very awesome brandy flavor. I swear I tasted cognac! Good stuff but watch out cause it can really kick your ass.

Oct 7, 2009 Consumed many times including a flight of 2001, 05, 06, and 08. All consumptions of this beer have been in great view of the West Coast BW. The 06 vintage being particularly fancy in it’s over the top ABV. Fantastic regular brew from NC.
