Dec 20, 2006 2002 bottle consumed in December 06. Decent aroma with a good look and thin head. Good taste that had a nice malty tatse to it. Hop presence showe but made this pretty smooth and balanced.

Dec 10, 2006 Ceramic bottle. Light brown fluffy but lasting head. Dark red brown body. Powerful barley malt aroma with a touch of cocoa. Too bad the alcohol is so dominant. Otherwise cocoa flavor.

Dec 5, 2006 Thanks to mmmIPA for this one too! I can’t believe this is rated so poorly within its style! I don’t normally care for barley wine, but I thought this was fantastic (goes to show maybe I know sweet F-all about barley wine). Anyway, I couldn’t generate any significant head even with a rigorous pour. Murky raisin brown. Lots of aromas and flavours intermingle-- initially this beer had a pronounced roasted wheat/grain backbone that distinctly made me think of Triscuit crackers (without the salt), along with some pruney fruit and a lick of chocolate. As it warmed up, it became more chocolatey and earthy, with an element of cigar box as well. With every sip I found that I could re-analyze this with pleasure! Complex and very well balanced for such a potent brew. Recommended.

Dec 3, 2006 A good hard pour of this 2004 bottle roused a 1/4" head which rapidly dissipated over the plummy-brown brew. Nose is primarily malty, with a slight estery tingle. A thick malty-sweet ness coats my tongue leaving a clinging hoppy bitterness. Alcohol is well concealed.

Dec 3, 2006 Dark, and malty. Tastes of dates and raisins. Frankly, this is the only way I’ll consume anything that tastes like raisins and dates. I found it to have an earthy head and malty finish. I heart barley wine.
