Aug 1, 2009 22oz bottle 8/1/09 (Sam’s Wine & Spirits-Downers Grove)-Pours a dark brown with amber tints with a small tight tan head. Aroma of sweetness, caramel, toffee, and chocolate. Taste is of sweetness, malt, and alcohol. This full bodied brew was not bad but I wasn’t expecting the alcohol to come across so boldly.

Very dark brown. Small, bubbly, beige head.
Vinous aroma and flavour with loads of toffee and chocolate, coffee and sweet fruits. Dry cocoa-bitterness.

Jul 26, 2009 Bottled: Pours dark brown with ruby highlights. Head is small. Smooth, creamy and chocolately toffee aroma. Flavour was slightly roasted and has notes of chocolate and toffee. The alcohol gives a somewhat harsh finish.
This beer might be the missing link between dunkler bocks and baltic porters.

Jul 24, 2009 22 oz. bottle shared by Tmoney99. Pours a clear deep brown color with reddish highlights and a small tan head. The aroma was moderately sweet caramel malt, fruity, alcohol, but seemed a bit oxidized. The flavor had a roasted malt component, caramel, chocolate, fruity, and a hoopy bitterness. Very strange combinations for a barleywine. I got some diacetyl in this which was distracting.

Jul 23, 2009 Bottle from Keg Liquors.
Poured dark brown color with an average brown frothy head that mostly lasted with excellent lacing. Moderate earthy, malt and alcohol aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Medium to heavy toasted bittersweet flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration.
I would share this with freinds and I did.

Jul 19, 2009 Bottle. A dark brown color with a nice foamy brown head. Rich chocolate malts, ripe berries, raisins, light and smooth on the palate, with a nice tangy bite and a long choco-malt aftertaste. Very different than many barley wines, but I enjoyed it.
