Reviewed from notes. Pours a moderate amber-crimson color with a bit of a white head. Nose brings forward some light oak as well as some caramel, dark fruits, and a bit of vanilla. The taste is mostly oak with some mild oak and a bit of dark fruits and sweetness. Moderate feel with a bit of alcohol. Drinks alright, but isn’t all that flavorful and I’m not sure the base beer--whatever it was--really benefited too much from the oak aging. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 10-31-2010

From old notes, trying to catch up. Orange with small ring. Sweet syrupy aroma. Very sweet maple syrup mild sweet fruit and nuts. Ok.

Meringue head, nice amber color. A touch of wood in the nose, vanilla, caramel, sweet malts. Nice creamy texture, tastes were caramel, raisin, and balanced bitterness, and finished fruity/sweet. Nice, very nice.

Bottle @ Papsø. Pours a slightly hazy amber color with a small off-white head. Has a fruity woody vanilla aroma with hints of caramel. Sweetish malty woody vanilla caramel flavor. Has a sweetish woody malty caramel finish with hints of vanilla in the aftertaste.

Pours deep amber, thin head. Yeasty thick sweet nose, fruity. Thick, slightly sour, bit fruity...lil’ minty in the finish...decent. isn’t that a descript rating. Fuck yeah muddafukka.

Shared at BA WH release. Orange/red-brown pour. Nice, smooth creamy barley wine. Sweet brown sugar/alcohol to caramel creaminess. Oak and alcohol. Good.

Bottle @ Utah Holiday Tasting: Light tart nose with plenty of oak and wine notes, some cherry and vanilla with malty bourbon and creamy fruit. Nice apricot and waffle notes. Lots of wine in this nice beer.

25.4 oz bottle. Caramel brown with spotty beige haze. Nose is oak, raisin, butterscotch, fig, apple and white pepper. Medium body with a juicy tingle. Taste is toffee, wood, orange blossum honey and grass. Reminded me of Fred.

750ml bottle from November 2009. Pours a hazy brown with a nice three inch head that lasts a while. Taste is of raisin, caramel, malt, spice, wood, fruit, pine, resin, some hops and warming alcohol. Has a nice sweet and spice aftertaste, that leaves me wanting more. Similar, though sweet fruit aroma. Has a nice full, smooth body that coats the mouth. Is too easy to drink considering it has 11% alcohol. Well worth getting again.

Hazy amber pour, off-white head. Sweet malt, caramel, oak, piney hops, and a little bit of fruit. Nice beer, but overall not super interesting.
