Tasted 4/27/08. Pt 7 of the sampler. Filtered with a ruby hue. White ring of head. Aromas of dark fruit and a touch wheaty. Big alcohol note. Full bodied with a tart honey flavor. Crisp oaky vanilla note. Huge palate! Solid!

May 18, 2008 On tap at Shoreline Brewery and served in a snifter. This barley wine poured a dark, muddy brown with a thin, lasting beige head. Some nice lacing was left behind. The aroma of the beer was made up of caramel, dark fruits, and a touch of alcohol. The flavor consisted of burnt caramel, ripe dark fruits, a hint of chocolate, and a mild alcohol note. The mouthfeel was full-bodied with light carbonation. The palate feels a bit thin, but this was still a nicely done barley wine.

Jan 15, 2008 Nice pour, a clear chestnut body with golden highlighting and an appropriate, creamy eggshell head. The aroma was sweet without being cloying, dusty caramel with appless, a hint of sweet cherries, and an earthy hop bitterness. All blended nicely into the flavor, the alcohol making itself known midway through. The finish is a blending of the bitter and the sweet, accompanied by a low alcohol burn. Nice. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp?PlaceID=4970> Shoreline Brewery, Michigan City, IN<font size=-1>

Dec 31, 2006 Very nice nose, full of candies, chocolate covered cherries, sweet maraschino cherry hops. Rich, silky, thick. Pungent and sticky cherry tobacco, sticky raisens and cedar wood. Lightly bitter, very lively on the tongue. Color is a dark ruby red.
