Poured a cloudy amber with a thin tan head. Aroma was quite vinous at first with a fruity alc backed by sweet caramel and malt and a touch of citric hop.
Boozy sweet flavour, but not overpowering, mellows into a nice smooth malty finish.

Jul 4, 2008 12 oz bottle from Bevmo. Pours a translucent amber-brown color with a beige head that left ample lacing. The aroma is big with malted barley, caramel, toffee, and biter walnuts. The flavor showed biter hops, raisins, dates and sweet barley malt. The mouthfeel is smooth and malty. The finish is long with lingering barley. Overall--a barley wine for barley wine fans. All others beware.

Jun 30, 2008 12oz bottle from BevMo! Mission Valley. Pours a transparent copper amber with a thin, lightly-lacing, off-white head. Aroma of complex sweet caramel and some fresh citrusy hops. Body starts sweet and caramely malty with a touch of grapefruity bitterness and toasted toffee. Finishes slightly warming and astringent. Has a decent balance of sweet malt and fresh hops.

Jun 25, 2008 Bottle... Poured dark orange with an off-white head. Aroma of alcohol and sugar sweetness. Solid barley wine. Very sweet and fruity plum and fig flavors with dark, barley-malt. Goes down easy for over 10%.

Jun 24, 2008 The color was crisp amber. The head was thin, fizzy, and white. The aroma was alcohol, funky, and somewhat hoppy. The flavor was alcohol, medicinal, and waxy/bitter. The palate was lively. The finish was warm.
