Oct 26, 2009 Draft at Cicero’s in the U-City Loop. Pours a cloudy dark brown with a half-inch tan head that dissipates quickly. Aroma of raisins, caramel malt, brown sugar, toffee, and alcohol. The flavor follows suit, with emphasis on the raisin and caramel malt flavors, along with some cereal and chocolate notes. Rich and strong, with a medium body. Solid barleywine- I really enjoyed this one.

Oct 24, 2009 Has been unintentionally aging in my friend’s fridge since March 2009. Strong aroma of chocolate, caramel malt and brown sugar. Appearance is dark brown with tan creamy head. Flavor of dark chocolate, caramel, roasted toffee, brown sugar and licorice. Palate is smooth at first and becomes more lively, alcohol finish. An underrated barleywine.

Oct 16, 2009 Earthy, grainy malt aroma. Hint of red wine, black licorice. Heavy alcohol.
The appearance is dark, dark brick red-brown. Head doesn’t last long, but reappears with agitation. Murky and rich.
The flavor is rich, pungent, grainy alcohol. Hints of red wine tannins. Lots of power. Pleasant but not that diverse. A little chocolate sweetness at the end.
The palate is gritty and milky. Very hefty. Not a bad beer, but not all that exciting a barleywine.

Sep 7, 2009 22 ounce bottle. Vintage 2008. Pours a redish/brown color. Big frothy long lasting off white head. Nice lacing. Very thick & rich malty texture. Caramel aroma. Tastes of sweet caramel and alcohol. Really loved the appearance of this beer. The flavor was mild, but pleasant. Overal an excellent beer.
