Jan 10, 2005 Murky caramel purple colored. Doesn’t smell like much of anything... taste like a cheap BW, meant to not upset the palate of the tourists. Candy sugar, frothy thin yeast presence, light buttered bread and cherry nose... artificially swet. Some corn and furl show up in the finish... not cool.

Sep 24, 2004 (gabf 2003) Aroma of plums and cherries. Very complex flavors in this barleywine. Flavors of fruit, molasses syrup and spices. The flavors have combined very nicely.

Feb 8, 2003 Brightish-brown color with a frothy beige head. Must've had a bad batch, as its flavor/aroma profiles were tainted with carrots, vegetables, bad herbs and bad cabbage. Definitely wasn't right. Will attempt to try again sometime.
