Commercial Description:
A deep rich barley wine. It's character changes constantly with deep flavours of nuts, figs, and dates imparted by the use of many various malts. Slight hop finish with sweet mouth. Should improve in the bottle for the next 10 years.

GABF 2008, Dr. Bill’s tasting, 1998 vintage. Pours clear tawny with spare, fizzy, off-white head, mostly diminishing with fair lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (cookie, caramel, toffee), average hops (perfume), average yeast (leather) with notes of alcohol, dates, ginger, and tobacco. Medium bodied, slick texture, soft carbonation, and a bitter finish. Long duration, moderate sweetness, acidity, and bitterness.

Sampled at Oakes’ ’05 Xmas Party
2000: Dark mahogany, no head or lacing. Nose is light with blood, sherry and engine grade oil. Old and oxidized. Why an 8 for aroma? I really liked the layered combination of those smells for some reason. The flavor is sweet and fruity, nice but a bit old. Finishes sweet like sweet-n-low but with a little cardboard in there for good measure.

Provides a dark brown color, a head a flat as a board with a heavy, but succulent sweet caramel, toffeish Crunchie chocolate bar nose. The palate is has soft caramel over laying strong brownies and a mildly bitter finishes with hints of chocolate and caramel.

No head, with ver little carbonation. Dark dark red. Aroma has red wine tones, and maybe I can see the toffee/caramel other people mentioned, Pretty nice flavours, with a big long lingering finish. Almost syrupy, but smooth. The alcohol was very mild, although a bit of a kick when it was all gone.

Cloudy dark red appearance. Nose is fruity with hints of sweet malt and light chocolate. Body is smooth and chocolatey with a touch of light hops towards the end and a good roast building. Very nice beer, huge ABV that doesn't distract.
