Bottle sampled on 9/15/07: Pours a transparent deep golden with a wispy-lacing white head. Aroma of sweet pale malt and some fresh piny notes. Body starts full and caramely malty sweet with good fresh earthy hoppy character toward a crisp bittersweet, full finish. A decent barleywine that should age pretty well.

12 fl oz bottle. Pours slight cloudy orange with a fully diminished white head. Slight spiced and mild citric note. Flavour is solid alcohol driven with a cornish and solid malt base. Alcohol dense finish.
