Can @ Cole’s during the Barleywine fest. Clear amber, no head. Nose is rich rasiny malt, lots of alcohol, some light soy notes. Flavor is corny malt, alcohol, lots of bitterness.

Can at Cole’s in Buffalo, NY. The aroma is on the boozy side, with sweeter malt notes that are are almost on the adjunct side. The flavor is similar. Low bitterness, maybe some honey-like sweetness. Definitely drinkable.

Sunburnt copper body with a short head and traces of lacing. Grainy aroma with strong alcohol also honey and a little nutty. Taste is sweet, repeat of the aromas with not too much more to add but after just having a Aussie made Belgian Strong Ale and not let down but not really turned on I opened this easy sipping barley wine and quite liked It. Wouldnt say this one would age that well.

Pretty strong ale. Sweetish malts but with strong bitter cap. Noticeable alcohol. Dark wood, earthy, some fruity characters - orange. Not very carbonated. Copper-red colour. Small head.

Bottle. Clear copper with a small head. Yellow apples aroma and flavours, in the mouth the fruity flavours is complemented by nutty bitterness, as from the apple seeds. Soft with a bit of cider character. Adding some originality to the barley wine style.
