Feb 26, 2009 Bottle. Had a medium golden pour with a light to medium fruit aroma with a sweet malt background. Had more malt than hop in the flavor making it a sweet and balanced brew. Had some apricot, light plumb and slight hops in the flavors and towards the finish. Good and complex brew.

Feb 18, 2009 2007 Flip Top 1 Liter bottle.. Big thanks to Matt, The Beer Sommelier for hooking me up with this one. Poured a cloudy orange body with thin head. Aroma is sweet, lite citrus hops. Flavor is a bit sweet with citrus, orange and a bit of faded hops. Much smoother than I expected.

Feb 5, 2009 I am glad I cellared this 1 litre gift from Captain Couger. I think it mellowed, with a bit more balanced flavour from the hops - not in your face from 90 IBU. Initilly a bit sour, then the hops kicks in, a lot of citrus, lots of malt and barley. Very drinkable though not the most complex or impressive barleywine I have had.Big white head on cloudy golden yellow body.

Dec 11, 2008 Bottle from miketd. Thanks! Pours a rich caramel color. Smell is citrusy with character of orange and caramel maltiness. Taste is orange citrusy sweetness balanced by citrusy hops. A bit towards the sweet side, but still balanced quite well. Very drinkable for a 10 percent barleywine and the alcohol is hidden almost completely. Medium body and carbonation. Good stuff

Poured into my Corsendonk Christmas Ale glass a very nice murky light golden brown color, nice carbonation, very nice one-finger plus creamy off-white head, which leaves some very nice small islands and sticky lacing. The nose is malty/hoppy, nice floral notes, slight spices. The taste is slightly sweet, malty/hoppy, with some spices. Medium body. Very drinkable, MAN! this is an awesome Barleywine, I like it, highly recommended.

Sep 11, 2008 1 liter bottle. Nose is caramel, apple and faint grass. Clear dark amber with an off-white, soft-serve head. Taste is caramel and honeydew with muted hops. Slight drying with mild bitterness. Very smooth and quite tasty. I would certainly visit this one again.

Jul 28, 2008 1L bottle. 2007. Pours coppery boarding on brown with a fizzy head and little lace. Very rich aroma of toffee, over ripened fruit, and plenty of hops. The flavor is about the same, but less impressive, you still saticfying. Medium body with average carbonation and a strong bitter finish. Certainly a pleasure to drink.

Jul 15, 2008 2005 bottle, courtesy Chris. Pours bright red, with copper brown highlights, fizzy white head and spotty lacing. Dry roasted malt aroma, sweet caramel, hay, and nice bitter hops in the end. Crisp caramel flavors, smooth malt on the initial bite, brown sugar, and hops in the finish. Very refreshing, surprising considering the ABV and style. Crisp, drinkable. 100th rating for this beer.
