Dec 31, 2004 DARK Red Coloring with Big Dark Sandy Head. Rich, Sweet Malt, Prunes and Bread Dough Aroma With The Warning that Warming will In sue. Rich Harsh Malts…Reminds me of Bell’s Expedition Stout…Very Thick and Creamy with a Warming that Makes you Immediately Respect This Brew. Barley Throughout. Heavy Brew!

Aug 27, 2006 I was once told by and good drinking buddy of mine that Old Crusty was Evil in a Bottle. Now DonYounger calls him the TreeHugger.
Rusty brown head on top of the muddiest brown malt toughness you’ve ever seen. Hopp aroma to burn off your nose hairs. The first BW I’ve ever had. I thought all BWs were all like this. I wish. Hop bitterness is the ultimate palate killer. A condensed BREWER. Thank you John for getting me to the next level with this beer!

Feb 24, 2008 2007 Ceramic bottle. Pours dark, dark brown with a very large head. Excellent lacing. Strong aroma of brown sugar and dark fruits. The hops come on a bit too strong, lending to a bitter taste. It is balanced out a bit on the back end.

Jan 11, 2004 This is the closest to an actual ruby color of any of the barleywines I've had so far.. It's a little light on the head. and has a bitter, hoppy finish, but the there's enough malt in the body to suggest that this better could handle aging for another year or so very well.

Dec 4, 2002 Updated: Apr 16, 2007Dark brown in color. A bit of citrus in the nose. Some earthy malt with harsh alcohol heat. Not one of their better beers.

Dec 1, 2002 2001 bottle - sharp and harsh. The malts are roasty but sweet with a strong cherry flavor. The IBU is strong - 120 - but unsatisfying. Any hope of balance is gone - I would expect this in an IPA, but not barleywine. Call me unimpressed.
