3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Crystal clear copper/amber with a wispy and disappearing white head. Ripe fruit sweetness and booze make up the aroma and these follow through to the taste which is well balanced and tasty. This is followed by a woody dryness which may be from the hops, but the candy sugar sweetness comes back and stays til the end. A good strong and sweet barleywine for the holidays.

4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Smooth pour with minimal head. Taste of hops, caramel, and malts. Carbonation is stready, but minimal as well. It is a unique ale with a malty aftertaste. Truly enjoyed this and I am a real barleywine snob.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pretty good, but the alco esters linger from middle to end of the drink and its a lil much to be a drinkable enjoyable beer, although it is barley wine. Aroma is sweet malty alcoholic grain. Appearance is copper with thin head that falls. Palate is saturated in sweet grain and alcohol. Hops are pretty much unnoticeable. Overall not bad the aftertaste keeps me from loving it
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Poured from bottle. Aroma of vanilla, pepper and alcohol. Clear amber, thin white head. Flavors of vanilla, caramel, cane sugar, pepper, banana, grass and alcohol. Slightly grassy aftertaste. Develops a somewhat soapy feel toward the end. OK, but somewhat uneven.
