Jul 29, 2009 Updated: Aug 1, 20092009. Good god im in heaven! Beautiful red amber, touch of green. lovely yellow head. Nose; sweet spices, candy, orange ju-jubes?, licorice, floral. Flavs; true heavenly bliss, i near cried as it touched my lips. Good start, perfect middle, fantastic ending. Very well done, balanced to perfection!
After 3 months, it darkened in colour, and the floral notes started to take over the scent. Still heavy on the orange ju-jubes though. And tasted better than the first one! Perfect!

Feb 4, 2004 Updated: Dec 20, 2006Very very good tasting experience. Rich beer. The beautiful red amber colour gives it a luxurious apparence. I can taste caramel malts and sugar. The McAuslan Brewing did a great work for this one. (2000 edition)
Another very good tasting experience. Nice brown-ruby colour with a nice head. Some caramel flavour again but the final is more bitter than the 2000 edition. Also tasted grapefruit. (2006 edition)

Feb 13, 2005 Huge and warmfelt thanks to DOUGSHOEMAKER for treating Jadoreblanche and I to a bottle of this nectar!
Bottle # 6173-
Pours a deep orange body, topped by a creay beige head that sits around, and locks that flavour in. Lots of carbonation here too. Aroma is of prunes/rasins, some alcohol, malts, yeast, and spices. Reminds me of a port. Complex! Taste is bittersweet, rasins, vinious, spicy. Tonnes of malt. Creamy mouthfeel, bitter aftertaste. Very warming. Great complexity of flavours and feelings. There’s really so muich going on here, it is hard for me to fathom. Complex in every aspect. My idea of what a barley wine should be! Way to go McAuslan! Thanks again Doug, I owe ya one for this.

Mar 22, 2005 2001 Vintage. It’d been a while since I’d had this, but a friend picked up a bottle in Montreal and a got the opportunity to try it again.
Oh. My. God.
It was a revelation in a glass, especially having had the chance to age for four years, it was absolutely delicious. You can practically chew this one, and it has a fantastic caramel, dried fruit nose and flavour. Just simply amazing.

Pours a cloudy orange with an off-white head. Strong butterscotch aroma, creamy and buttery with notes of alcohol. Aroma is strong but well-balanced. Sweet butterscotch malt and light diacetyl. Finish with a faint tartness, and sharp, citrusy hops. Silky smooth body with perfect carbonation. What a treat of a beer - many thanks to HogTownHarry for the bottle!

Feb 16, 2004 The McAuslan Vintage 2001 has a lot in common with Sophia Loren: a sexy Ruby red beer. There is a lot of malt and caramel tastes in this marvel. Each mouthful brings it's load of pleasure resulting in a syrupy dense and rich aftertaste. Definitely the kind of treat that you want to keep for a shaggy moment with your loved one.

Nov 18, 2004 2001 bottle shared with my brother DYCSoccer17. Slightly hazy plum colored pour with medium light tan head. Sugary, deep caramel, delicious aroma. Nice vineous notes in the nose. This is velvety smooth, absolutely wonderful. Beginning is subdued fruit, pit fruit, plums, raisins, etc. Middle is sugary sweet, with just a bit of warmth from the alcohol, although the alcohol is nearly undetectable. This is truely the best barleywine I have had to date. Thanks Rastacouere for this gem!
