Nov 12, 2007 Sampled at Cellars Wine & Spirits and shared by brewfiend. Pours a clear dark copper brew, thick and syrupy with no head. Aroma of rich caramel, fruity character, some aged wood, raisined prunes and plenty of alcohol to burn the nose. Taste is oily, thick, no carbonation with flavors of rich caramel malt, some brown sugar and a touch of molasses. Finish is strong alcohol warmth with a sticky caramel malt flavor. A decent sipper barley wine.

Nov 11, 2007 Shared out of my drunken stash with scufflman, abervaatyo0er, skyview, and who know who else. not the magnificence of the utopias. but good. damn. i wish i could actually see at the moment, but thankfully that’s not an issue thanks to touch typing. sweet malt nose. caramel color. cloyingly sweet body. I could do with less sweetness, bu this will do. A little oak with the usual suspects. Not bad but probably better in a few years.
