Apr 21, 2007 Swing top bottle. Pours a hazy amber color with a small off white head. Aroma of hops, yeast and overly ripe fruit. Taste is bitter and unbalanced. This was not a pleasent or easy to drink beer. I was disappointed to say the least.

Apr 21, 2007 Bottle: Ruby/amber pour with virtually no head. Nose of dark fruit and malts, hints at the presence of alcohol. Taste is very smooth and mellow, light alcohol notes. Dark fruit, citrus, caramel, and malt is present. Very drinkable barleywine. Thanks BuckDich for the sample.

Apr 20, 2007 Nip from 1997. Brown, hazy pour, floaties and ugliness. Just right for a barleywine. Aroma is positively delicious, lots of soft chocolate and left-over resins from the once 120 IBU hops. Molasses and sherry, black pepper and booze. Taste is very smooth and mellow, with lots of old, sweet malts up front, and then a mid-taste blast of leftover hops, finishing with a hot and liquory finish. Drank side by side with a 2004 old foghorn, this one was the positive winner.

Apr 15, 2007 Pours translucent deep ruby with a medium tan head. Nose is caramel,dates, molasses, and sharp hops. The flavor begins with a powerful candied date and irish cream (?) that quickly turns into overwhelmingly harsh and almost painful bitterness, along with powerful hops aroma carried by the alcohol into your nose. Thick, oily, ongoing bitter mouthfeel and aftertaste. Alcohol very evident. Good, but should be allowed to age longer.

Apr 11, 2007 On tap at the Stone World Bistro, sat out in the gardens and enjoyed this one. Thick and smoky-hazy. Lots of dark fruits. Very hoppy. Chocolaty, caramel malts. Sweet, syrupy and intense but mellowed at the same time. Overall a very big and quite enjoyable brew.

Apr 7, 2007 On tap. Aroma is candied red fruit and banana with an explosion of bubble gum. Taste is bubble gum with some cough-syrupy fruits. Funky.
