Jul 17, 2008 This is a fantastic barley wine. Pours dark red with a nice smell and great floras. Tastes sweet and sugary with enough alcohol to satisfy but doesnt have a bite like alot of other ’wines’ do. MMMMM MMMMM Goood.

Jul 16, 2008 Pours a nice creamy head which slowly deflates, pleasant inviting color, minimal floral aroma, but good hoppiness in the nose, fine heavy mouthfeel, minimal bitterness initially, which gradually builds and then lingers, but not overly long. Let this one warm a bit. Too much chill kills the subtleness.

Jul 14, 2008 [Bottle] Pours a clear copper with a medium off white head. Aroma is loaded with citrus hops. Some malt backbone, but smells more like a double IPA. Flavor is hop forward. Very bitter, with the sweetness of the malt coming through towards the end.

Jul 13, 2008 Bottle from Market Street in McKinney, TX.
Pours a nice hazy dark amber with very nice beige head. Aroma of caramel and grapefruit. Flavor is sweet with obvious grapefruit and caramel malts. Has full body and low-medium carbonation. Overall this is a very good barleywine! Really hit the spot.

Jul 13, 2008 clear amber with a great ruby tint. very creamy dense head. intriguing aroma of wood, molasses and oily pine hops, with delicate rose hips hiding in there as well. silky caramel beginning is quickly overcome from the imposing wall of hops whose floral qualities of wildflowers, nectar and more pine start simple but offers much more when i look closer. once warmed, the bitterness becomes more astringent, body is thinner, and much of the sweetness fades.

Jul 11, 2008 Pours amber with thick off white head. Aroma has hops and caramel. Taste is big on the hops with nice blend of malt and caramel. Nice thick mouthfeel. This one is fresh and comes off more like a IIPA. Very similar to Maharaja. I love my hops and this was good.

Jul 8, 2008 Pours a deep red with an off white head that clings to the glass. Big nose of hops, hot alcohol, fruit, dough, molasses, caramel. Taste is very hoppy, sweet malt, some fruit, then more hops in the finish. A surprisingly hoppy barely wine. Pretty awesome for a barley wine.
