Aug 7, 2008 Bottle from Beersofeurope.co.uk: Wow. This beer is stunning. Very sweet with bundles of fruit and caramel flavour. No sign of the alcohol, and no burn. This was sensational.

Aug 3, 2008 deep brown color with a subdued barley wine nose and a clean palate with a taste of some sugar and dark fruits.

Aug 2, 2008 Pours a mahogany color with a very thin fizzy white head that fades quickly. Aroma is peat, dark fruits, brown sugar, and sweet malts. Taste is about the same as the aroma, with a nice clean and refined palate. The alcohol is hidden well but you can feel it burn and warm your stomach. Good stuff.

Aug 2, 2008 Updated: Aug 4, 2008I finally had this beer at the Bayou in SLC. Pours a bright amber color with a tiny white head. The aroma was rich sweet fruits and candy. The taste was a sweet concoction of dark fruits, mostly plum, some brown sugar and a sweet coffee cake finish. A thin mouthfeel and full flavors. Easy to drink and not really warm at all.

Aug 2, 2008 Draft sample offered after the Anchor Brewery tour. Aroma is a mixture of sweet burnt sugar and resiny pine. Flavor includes raisins. Alcohol is fairly noticeable in this one. Overall a nice barleywine style.
