Jun 29, 2002 Re-Rate 06/29/02: Deep ruby red, the head is beige, the lace in sheets to hug the glass. The nose is deep malt, earthy, hits of alcohol, hops and caramel, a great sniffing beer. Start is sweet, the top is medium to full, the finish hop laden ,dry, lightly acidic and the alcohol warms the tummy, a ’World Class’ barley Wine. A gift from Jayme

Dec 3, 2001 I am beginning to love barleywines more and more. After my first experience, with the repulsive Bigfoot, i have had nothing but good luck. Another great beer from Victory, fruity tastes and aromas of grapes and plums. Great mouthfeel, very thick. I should have got another.

Mar 27, 2003 How i have lusted after thee! And boy was i not disappointed. I need to get a case of this stuff! The aroma is amazing. Very fruity with hints of melon, peach, and berries. Just a touch of hops in the nose. Flavor: DEAR GOD this is smooth. Melon, peaches, strawberries, finished off by a dose of hops. Just amazing! Perhaps the most drinkable barlywine i've ever had. I need to have a taste off with Bells' 3rd Coast and 3F's Behemoth to determine the grand champ of the barleywines'.

Jun 30, 2004 Bottled date: Jan 23, 2004. Deep amber color with a nice light brown head. Head is mostly diminishing except for a thin ring round the edge of the glass and a light film in the middle. Big caramel malts in the aroma, along with Red Delicious apples, honeycomb, dates, and a touch of alcohol. Thick, chewy flavor, with more Red Delicious apples and sweet caramel malts. Juicy raisins in the finish. Full bodied and delicious. Alcohol is very well hidden in the flavor, and is only detectible in the immediate aftertaste.

May 10, 2001 The Victory Brewing Company of Downingtown, PA has a stellar reputation among beer geeks, and for good reason. They brew some incredible beers, and Old Horizontal is one of them. This is a beautifully done barleywine, that is rich, delicious, and complex. The nose is very sweet malty with peppery hints of alcohol. The palate is lush with sweet malt flavors, caramel, toffee, and vanilla. This beer finishes malty up front then ends with a soothing, warming burn. One of the best domestic barleywines on the market today.

Dec 7, 2003 A really amazing barley wine that I have been waiting many years to try. It really surprised me at the balance of malt and hops in this ale. The alcohol is apparent, but not at all obtrusive. Sweet at first, but the hops pull through like a champ. Caramel notes that give way to raisins and plums. Really nice mouthfeel, which is important to me when it comes to barleywine. A must try..
