Jun 20, 2008 Copper-brown pour with faint threads of white foam. Nice viscous look in the glass. Sweet grainy aroma, with a hint of alcohol and a sweet herbal perfume. Taste is fairly simple, with toasty grains and a general sweetness present. A bit hot on the finish, but not bad.

May 30, 2008 Very good barley wine style beer. Dark orange in the glass, it has a subtle sweetness with just a hint of hops. I thought the sweetness hid the alcohol pretty well, but it was still apparent. Overall, a very good beer.

May 27, 2008 I liked this. Very barley winish. I don’t really get the honey in the flavor or the aroma. On the nose I get malt and a sugary sweetness. It tastes well balanced and sweet. Ends with a faint hop bitterness.

May 26, 2008 Bottle (22oz) shared at ’Rudolf’s May 2008 Tasting’ -- courtesy of rudolf. Pours a clear deep orange-amber with an average size diminishing fizzy white head. Aroma of honey, malt, alcohol, light hops and some sugary sweetness. Flavour is a too boozy and sweet for my liking -- lots of sweet honey, light hops and a boozy, astringent finish. Thin bodied. Just O.K., it’s too sweet, too boozy and too unbalanced.

May 25, 2008 22 oz bottle served in a snifter. Pours a reddish port like color with a thin off white head. Quite pretty to behold. Nose is honey as expected and a bit of alcohol. Mouthfeel is thick, heavy & a little oily. The commercial description talks about honey so much, I was afraid the brew would be sickenly sweet. However, not so. The taste of honey is there, but subdued. Strong alcohol presence too. Felt a little like Winnie the Pooh after drinking this one. My head was stuffed with fluff.

May 20, 2008 Bottle from Mystery Swap 3.0. Pours a mahogany color with a thin off white head. Aroma of alcohol, toffee and honey. Taste is semi sweet of malt, honey, caramel and spices. Has a rather hot alcohol bit in the finish.
