Dec 23, 2007 351 mL bottle. 2006 vintage. Translucent copper orange with very little head. Sweet (candied) fruity aroma with malt, tinned peaches and pears, and a little peppery hops. The taste is sweet, with a real plum pudding (with rum sauce) thing going on. More hops than expected. Nice hoppy/bitter lasting finish. Some alcohol burn down the back of the throat. Incredibly full and smooth. Expect this will be even better next year.

Jan 4, 2010 Pours hazy orange with a off-white head that quickly dissipates. Aroma is fantastic. Mellow sweet fruitiness (apricots and maybe coconut??), with a bit of spicy and bready nose. Taste is very sweet - spiciness kicks in after a few seconds but subsides again to a bit of a malty sweetness. Thick, almost syrupy texture, very rich. Not much carbonation. Long finish. Fantastic.

Jan 9, 2009 341 ml bottle from the LCBO. 2007 vintage. pours amber with a nice equal protein suspension and a small off white head. aromas are classic american barley wine. malt forward with ripe fruit in the nose and hops also present. flavours are well intregrated but malt forward. bitter hop finish and i imgaine this would drink like a IIPA when fresh. im not sure that the year in my cellar added anything to this brew but it was enjoyable. i will seek out other vintages.

Apr 21, 2009 Bottle from Lt. Butler. Very nice sleeper beer. Nose of barrel, sweet baked goods, sherry. Flavor is the same plus brighter fruit and the tongue happiness of champagne. Color is a nice red brown. A surprising hit.
