Commercial Description:
Luxuriously rich in character, this warming winter ale delivers over 10% alcohol in an oh-so-seductive manner. Deliciously fruity flavors lie under a bracing hop nose.

Pours a clear amber to ruby, moderate tan head, good head retention, only temporary lace, effervescent, a few chunks of sediment. Aroma is caramel and a lot of ABV. The alcohol in the nose carries enough of a chemical solvent nature to be a bit offputting. Flavor is built around a mild caramel malt backbone, hops are generous and sprucy, but there’s not even a hope of hiding the alcohol here. Medium to full body, smooth palate, very penetrating warmth.

Draft at TacoMac Perimeter. Poured a Dark Amber with no head. Aroma of caramel. Sweet flavor of Toffee. A damn good beer.

Drank a 12 oz bottle out of a pint glass. not very impressive aroma but the appearance had a decent hue. I was not impressed by the flavor, and the alcohol aftertaste was to overpowering and took away from any flavor potential. As with the flavor, the alcohol aftertaste did little for the palate. overall impression of this beer is average.

I wrote a review, and then ratebeer’s silly server ate it. Seriously. Not a bad beer, we’ll see how it is in a year for a rerate.

At tasting session by Joes. A clear red/brown colored beer, with a little beige head. The aroma is fruity sweet, some dark fruits and a little hop. The taste of dark fruits, cognac, with malts and hops. Some nuts in the back. The aftertaste is bittersweet and a little dry.

Quite good. My favorite is the Sly Fox Panacea, but Victory knows how to make a good barleywine.

pours copper, thick beige head. Aroma of alcohol, malts, yeast and fruits. Taste, thick, hoppy, boozy as hell and warming. Hops with some underlining grapefruit with light bitterness. Light spices and malts.

Lovely looking redish brew with a small, quickly dying yellowish head. Interesting but not fantastic aroma of winegums, perfumey hops and the dried fruits. Taste is similar but better with some of the tropical hoppy fruit flavours aswell. Really good barleywine, suprisingly traditional with aging potential.
