Jul 25, 2006 1998 Bottle. Pours deep ruby red with zero head. Deep, malty aroma, conjuring images of honey, alcohol, raisins and dried cherries. In the mouth, it starts OK, but then takes on this unbelievable bitterness. It was all I could do to keep it in my mouth. The aftertaste, interestingly enough, isn’t very bitter. There’s a hint left, but it yields to the malt and alcohol as it goes down. This is the most enjoyable barley wine I’ve tried, but it’s still not something I’d seek out.

Jul 22, 2006 Draught at Rogue Ales Public House in San Francisco, CA. Clear reddish color with off white head that laced the glass. Smlled moslty of alcohol with dark cherry and other fried fruits. Bitter as the end took me by suprise but was nice.

Jul 18, 2006 From XS ceramic flip-top 750ml bottle. tried this one right away, but I am cellaring two others. Pours a cloudy reddish brown. A strong nutty and fruity flavor that has a bitter hoppy and dry finish. Each sip is strong and a new rush. Very good barley wine, i can’t wait til my others have aged.

Jul 13, 2006 Muddy deep brown colour with a tan head. Malty, caramel sweet aroma with a dark fruit note and a light hoppyness. Light roasted malty flavor with a dried dark fruit sweetness and a light hoppy bitter finish.

Jul 12, 2006 A good experience for me. Only my second Barleywine, and the other (Moylan’s) was much sweeter and one sided. This baby has character! The pour was dark brown with a slight head that dissipated really fast. The aroma was of hops, and more hops. The taste was nice. The flavors of malts balanced with hops in the back end. A perfect blend in my opinion.

Jul 12, 2006 Draft @Frisco Grille - Deep turbid brown, thin fizzy white head. Had a aged musty grapefruit aroma, with additional piney, caramel, brown sugar, and spruce notes. Well bittered up front, but probably due to the aging, had much less bite then more recent vintages. Cobwebs, caramel, citrus, and pine sum up the overall flavor. ABV was well integrated and not in your face. Full bodied, medium carbonation, drying, bitter-sweet finish. Whatever year this was, not bad at all....
