Jun 5, 2007 This pours a very dark brown with hints of red when held up to the light, a vigorous pour left me with a ring of tan head hanging around the side of the goblet I poured it into. The aroma is of dark fruits, sugar, and a touch of spice. The flavor has hints of primarily of oak and smoke, with a touch of sweetness lurking in there, and a very long bitter/smoky finish. If you’re a fan of scotch and whiskey, I would strongly recommend picking up some of this to try. I would love to snag a bottle or two of this to cellar.

Jun 5, 2007 *Drank at le Mondial 07* Murky brown poor with a thin brown head. Aromas of caramel, star anise, nicely spiced, blueberries and a sweet tartness to it. Very bitter ... reminds minds me of a good mix between an imperial IPA and barley wine. Flavors of alcohol, spices, caramel and hints of many different peppers... Preaty good!

Jun 2, 2007 Bottle, 22oz. From the XS series. Sweet aroma. Both the head and the beer has a redish color and is clear. For a Barley Wine this beer is very hoppy. The mouthfeel is bitter from the hops. I believe this beer will gain a lot as a vintage beer.

Jun 1, 2007 12oz bottle from Moejuck. 02 vintage drunk on 5/18. Pours a murky dangerous looking brown color with no hr=ead. Extremly malty caramel aroma with some hop bitterness coming through. The taste was the same with some burnt notes as well. Thick, rich, and chewy with bitter finish.

May 26, 2007 Now this is what barleywine should taste like. Pours deep reddish purple with nice full tan head that diminishes to a bubbly cap in the center of the beer’s top. Lacing for hours. Smells of dark fruits, raisin and plum, intense hops. Taste is very smooth for a beer this strong, hoppy for a barleywine. One is quite enough!

May 22, 2007 2004 bottle. The bottle was certainly not nearly as bitter as it could have been. Thanks to the beer being aged. The taste was was very nice. I certainly enjoyed this one, but would love to have a raw one to get the full smack in the face bitterness.

May 21, 2007 2005 Ceramic Bottle. Not much head. Nice alcoholic and bitter aromas. Carbonation ok for a barley wine.Very bitter, herbaceous aftertaste. A good "sipping" beer, but a little hard for those not used to strong hops.
