Aug 30, 2008 Dark copper red with barely no head but for a little creamy fast disappearing one inch tan one. Aroma of berries, caramel, with a slight port-like note in the end. Quite a full-bodied sipping beer, round and malty.

Aug 28, 2008 (boltle aged ~6mo? In fridge coded 8JH): Pours an unmurky brown body, fizzy. Good-sized head, off-white & diminishing. Malty sweet aroma, a little bit of alcohol in the nose. Not very aromatic. Malty, syrupy sweet taste. Malty. Dark fruit taste, similar to a Belgian Strong. Bitter, but not grapefruity. Good for sipping and as it warms up.

Aug 28, 2008 Blood red color with a small eggshell head. Aroma is roasted malt, brown sugar, caramel, and dark fruit. Flavor matches and hides the 9% ABV well. Alcohol isn’t sharp but warms. A very well crafted beer. Love that this one is on the shelf in AZ.

Aug 26, 2008 Draught at the brewery, August 2008. This is a very sweet Barley Wine. Tasted dark sugars, caramel, dark grapes. Alcohol is very well masked. This is the most accessible barley wine I have tried to date.

Aug 23, 2008 12 oz. bottle. 2008. Deep mahogany headless mellow monster. Toffee, caramel, biscuit aroma. More of the same in flavor with a silky earthiness and moderate alcohol stance. Solid mouthfeel.

Aug 23, 2008 Bottle from Utobeer. Opaque, reddish amber in colour with a momentary off-white head. Aroma of caramel, red currants and citrus hops. Flavour had loads of sweet fruit - raisins and cherries, with a few nuts, chewy malts and some resinous hops. Finish was dry with some warming alcohol. Well balanced and very enjoyable.

Aug 22, 2008 The most bubble gum I have ever smelled and tasted in a beer. Actually kind of fun. Good thing this is immediately overwhelmed by dark, ripe fruit, carmel, and some astringent flavor like black licorice. Soft and sweet with a bit of alcohol warmth. An easy to drink barley wine at a good price.

Aug 21, 2008 Bottle, 12 fl. oz. Pours a dark amber beer, with an off-white head. The aroma is sweet with bubblegum and notes of anis. The flavor follows the nose with bubblegum, esthers and alcohol. The sweetness hangs in the mouth and leaves a sticky feeling. Overall a barley wine above average.
