Oct 10, 2007 26 oz ceramic bottle-pours a thin retaining tan head and light brown color. Aroma is dark malt-some sweet, dark fruit, slight alcohol. Taste is dark malt-some sweet/caramel/chocolate, then spice hops, dark fruit. A very malt barleywine/American SA. Assertive for a barleywine style, not my style. Sipping, OK carbonation. Thanks jwc215 for sharing.

Oct 6, 2007 Intense bitterness with a pleasant aftertaste. 750ml bottle purchased in Kalamazoo @ TIffany’s. Who knows how long it’s been on their shelf. I’m satisfied with this.

Sep 27, 2007 A heavy bitter all American barley wine (style ale). The extra over the top bitterness from citrusy hops makes this a winner everytime.

Sep 25, 2007 Pours deep copper with no head. Aroma of caramel and toffee malts, extremely deep and almost chocolatey, with strong bitter hoppiness and a bit of alcohol. Flavor is extremely bitter, which is a very good thing. Nice malts balance this out quite well. Really robust beer, but somewhat two-dimesional, but both dimensions are money.

Sep 19, 2007 I had a bottle that was only six months old, so some would say that this rating doesn’t count because one should age a barleywine such as this much longer before consuming, but I didn’t so I will rate it anyway. I will only say that it it was terribly bitter. To the point where I nearly puckered my mouth with each sip. I just didn’t like it, and consider it a drainpour cause thats where it went.

Sep 16, 2007 A Mes rate:
Bottle at LCRBM3. Dark semi-cloudy amber colour with a bubbly head. Very hoppy and alcoholic all round with some nice straw and caramel. Huge dollop of alcohol in the finish. Fairly decent.

Sep 10, 2007 Updated: Feb 18, 20083rd LCRBM. Malty aroma with grapes. Fruity sweet flavor, roasty with alcohol, wood and porto. Burning mouthfeel, due to the alcohol.
Bottle shared @ jbrus’s place.
Out of the hectic open air session and tasted in the quietness of jbrus’s home I had to add two points. 2006 bottle. Porto aroma with raisin and a flowery and earthy bitterness. Firm oily and flowery hopbitter flavor, lingering on in the long aftertaste.
