Brown of color with a off-white head. An aroma of chocolate, prunes and hops. A nice flavor with notes of chocolate, sweet malt - then a nice bitter finish of hops.

ok i have to steal this because badlizard hit it dead on "Dark brown with foamy tan head. Aroma of malt, molasses, and caramel. Thick chewey palate. Wow, it has a big taste. Caramel, toffee, molasses quickly transition to a big bitter bite with citrus and pine notes from the hops and an alcoholic finish with a lingering floral hoppy after taste."

Shared ceramic swing top at Coastal Wine’s beer club (Allagash night of all things) ... Fire engine red with a tan head. Big ol’ rich aroma of malt and sugar. The flavor is pure gold ... brown sugar, warm, nice, definitely living up to the 120IBUs declared on the back. Beauty of a big, but easy to drink barleywine. Rich and thick. Nicely done.

Big porcelain Bottle. 11.5% alcohol as opposed to 10.5%. Malt aromas of roasted and caramel with heavy smells of hoppy resin and orange peel. Soap, raisin, licorice, fruit cake and alcohol in the background. Head is a rocky light brown with excellent lacing and is fully lasting, color is hazy brown. Flavor starts lightly sweet and acidic then turns moderately sweet and harshly bitter in the long finish. Palate is med/full, creamy with soft carbonation and a moderately astringent and lightly alcoholic finish. A little too bitter of a finish but otherwise a very good beer.

06 ceramic bottle: Semi-transparent amber/brown with a small white head that disappeared almost instantly. Very sweet aroma with some mild citrus, molasses and a strange coffee hint that seemed very out of place. Caramelly taste with some fruity essence, malt, and a nice hoppy kick that climbed its way up the corporate ladder as it warmed. Very good brew and depending on the initial hop profile when this is fresh, it could possibly use another year of aging.

Frothy, chewy, dry, bitter, aged, and more sweeter than I prefer. Musty and toasty but not smoky. Carmel, pine, orange, sherry, Maybe tobacco. Too pricey.
