Mar 1, 2008 Bottled. I can’t believe this is listed as a barley wine cause it tastes more like a bock to me, Pours a reddish brown. Aroma is caramel and syrup. Very light in the mouth, a bit of a hops kick and some carbonation. Pretty durned good.

Feb 24, 2008 Poured dark brown with red highlights. A two-finger head and some lacings. Tastes like soy-sauce mixed with molasses then made into wine. Lots of alcohol evident. Not my type of brew.

Feb 24, 2008 Poured reddish brown coor with small beige head. OK this beer tasted stronger than the 8.5 ABV. and is not very smooth. I guess I am not a barley wine type of guy, because I did not care for this brew. Scent was ok but taste was to harsh.

Feb 20, 2008 bottle. 2007 vintage (i think), pours ruby with creamy off white head. nose is loaded with molasses, some caramelized nuts. flavor of molasses, toffee, nuts. very mild smoke and peatiness as well. this is pretty straight forward, but its tasty. sweet but not too sweet and no alcohol is noticed. a tad watery. rather short, bland, sweet finish. solid stuff though.

Feb 18, 2008 Pours dark brown with a thin head. Aroma is yeasty like bread with some mild fruit tones. Sweet malt flavor, more of a bready presence in flavor as well. Not Bad.

Feb 17, 2008 Very scotch ale like - in other words very drinkable, easy drinking for such a kick-ass beer. Smooth and malty, nice caramel notes throughout, somewhat ripe fruit, but not Belgain like in its noticability. A real treat.
