Mar 12, 2008 YUM! Thanks Kenny! Golden orange color, small white head. Instant nose of cardboard, corn and fuel scented malts, highly boozy and hot, with a starchy potato, wet paper and toasted corn and grain smell, and honestly it tastes no different - boozy, chewy corn, toast, fuel, etc. Thanks for sharing!

Mar 11, 2008 Courtesy of kmweaver. Clear light amber wit a small white head. The nose is sweet and boozy with cotton candy, honey and golden raisins. The flavor is sweet with golden raisins, caramel, cotton candy and herbs. Full body is chewy and sticky with moderate carbonation. Finish is thin and hot.

Mar 11, 2008 750mL bottle, courtesy of jjpm74. Thanks, John! Pours a clear, bright honey-orange color; white head with solid fine-bubbled lacing. Boozy, basic alcohol and cereal and corn in the aroma; blah and warming. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: toasty grains, astringent booziness and sugar; very one-dimensional and corny and sugary; quite disappointing for the promise of a full-bodied barleywine. Medium, corny finish: basic cereal and sugar and astringent husks.

Feb 25, 2008 Poured a clear copper color with an off-white head. Fusel alcohol dominates the aroma but some sweet malt is present. The flavor was sweet malt and pepper alcohol. Bitter finish. Pretty thin for a barleywine.

Feb 18, 2008 Bottle @ Coles Barleywine tasting Buffalo NY. From Michael Jackson Beer Club. Light red with slight golden hue. Sweet honey aroma. herbal honey caramel flavor. Light hop bitterness & sweetness. Not really barleywinish to me. Easy drinking despite high ABV hides it very well

Jan 26, 2008 Courtesy SoLan. Slightly cloudy light amber color with a thin even layer of white head. Sweet grainy aroma. No deeper malt scents. Kind of a flat taste - buttery sweetness, no real malt richness, almost tastes dirty. Cardboardy aroma after a while.
