Oct 19, 2008 Getting notebook online. Bottle. Pours a ruby red. Spice on the nose with some sugary fruits. Lots of sweet flavors of raisins and figs and caramel. Very smooth and drinkable. High alcohol very subtle. Tasty.

Oct 19, 2008 12 oz bottle via Liquid SOl. Pours a CLEAR copper with a huge dense beige head. Nose is vanilla, chocolate and citrus. Tastes like it smells with an added dimension of fruity esters, berries and almonds. Phenols are present but are kept in check for the most part... Body is full, CARBONATION JUST right. A well-done balanced english style barleywine...

Oct 16, 2008 bottle from Kingdom, fairly smooth and but thought it would stand out a bit more based on the rating. As described but not special to me.

Oct 16, 2008 Updated: Mar 24, 2009Bottle. Pours carbonated with nice ruby-brown color and pretty good off-white head. Hints of raisins and caramel, hops bitterness lingers in finish. Not overly malty or hoppy, nice balance. Pretty smooth, a great barley wine.

Oct 12, 2008 Updated: Jan 11, 2009A clear red/bruin colored ber, with a small beige head. The aroma is freas, dark caramel malts, some sweet. There are hops. Also fruits. The taste of light chocolate, with fruits like berries, raisans. A little bit of some coffee candy. The aftertaste is bittersweet. When the beer gets warmer, there is a little sherry/porto taste.

Oct 10, 2008 12oz bottle. Deep red-brown with a lasting head. Fruity, toffee, candy, jelly... nice aroma. Sweet, caramel, intense fruitiness, light hops, light bitterness This is really tasty, and much more drinkable than most barley wines that I’ve had. Full bodied, but not sticky or too chewy like some. Smooth to the max.

Oct 8, 2008 12 ounce bottle dated April 07 in pint glass. Reddish amber with ring head. Sweet cherry port aroma. Sweet brown sugar ripe cherry with medium bitterness. Medium-full body and low carbo. Nice sipper. I’ve loved this one for a long time, but now I prefer a more aromatic and hop flavored barleywine like Bigfoot or Old Ruffian.
