On tap At mcnellies. Mahogany pour smells hoppy and malty. Taste is sheer bliss. Sweet, malt, hoppy but not too bitter,Very flavorful and really complex. All I can say is wow!!! this is exactly what im looking for in a barleywine. will have to try this one out again from a bottle compare.

Very hoppy aroma with caramel malt underneath. Dark fruits, slightly vinous. Dark brown color with nice shiny orange and a huge off-white head. Big caramel malts with huge hop bitterness and some aroma as well. Raisins, pears. Alcohol noticeable, almost rum-like. Bitter, slightly burning finish of alcohol and hops. Well done, fruity and very hoppy.

Nice mahogany pour to this bad ass barley wine. Nice aroma of sugar, dark fruits and malts. Taste comes though with a malty raisin taste with the alchol hiding behind them. Nice mouthfeel on this big beer... Solid.

A very tasty barleywine style ale. The flavors were not typical of a barleywine and it was surprisingly smooth. The palate was that of caramel and butterscotch. Really impressive.

12oz bottle. 2007. Pours a hazy brown with a small ring of tan foam. Aromas of caramel malt, some dark fruit, and a hint of booze. Flavors the same sweet malts, caramel, vanilla a bit of heat.

Amber brown in color with a decent sized beige head. Aroma is of caramel and spices. Flavor is of malt, caramel, raisins, and light hop bitterness.

Draft at Foundry Kansas City. Dark brown, nice white head. Nose is sweet and malty while the taste is sweet, spicy, sticky, malty and very smooth. Great beer and too easy to drink.

Bottle at Microbar, Battersea, 13th Jan 09, with renffisch. Rich reddish amber - typical barley wine looks. Sweet, rich in flavour and full bodied but not too sticky or cloying. Good caramel aroma. Lots of punch. A good barley wine.
