An amazing barley wine! Pours a caramel amber with almost nonexistent tan head. Tastes of molasses, with fruits like raisins and grapefruit. Easy on the palate with a warming alcohol feeling.

Aroma is a bit like christmas - with cloves, dry fruits add to that tons of american hops. Strong vinoes taste with fruity hoppy overwhelming notes. Best barlywine ive had to this date. Finish long and bittersweet..

Oct 6, 2008 Bottle, 2007. Excellent. Best barleywine I’ve had. Palate is extremely smooth, short, sweet finish. Soft carbonation and a fruity aroma with caramel and vanilla notes round it out.

Oct 6, 2008 [Bottle] Pours a hazy, caramelly gold with a medium beige head. Aroma is strong with citric hops, caramel-toffee, a touch of raisin, and a little alcohol. Flavor is very caramelly and rich, warming alcohol doesn’t detract from the flavor. Pine and citric hops add flavor and bitterness. Overall a good beer.

Oct 2, 2008 Bottle @ Chris_o’s Pre-Beer Exposed Tasting, September 2008.
Pours a very pretty red with a small, creamy, off-white head. Aroma is powerfully hoppy, light strawberries, melons and lots of caramel. Fine, dry mouthfeel. Flavour is softly sweet, fine caramel and dried fruits. Good, high hoppiness. But it feels a bit ’old’ and rather dull - especially compared to that inflated average rating.
