Mar 22, 2009 Bottle thanks to chef201atc. Pours a deep amber with a beige head. Aroma of some faint dark fruit and alcohol. Flavor is sweet, some dark fruit. Mouth feel is heavy body, low-medium carbonation. Over all, some good shit....

Mar 22, 2009 On tap at Brouwer’s Hard Liver Barley Wine Fest (distinguished from the normal Blue Hair on the tap list). Pours a reddish copper with a small head. Sweet malts dominate, with oak, bourbon, a slight amount of hops... it smells and tastes darker than it is, and there’s far more bourbon in the aroma than in the flavor. Full bodied, and very drinkable. Great - one of my favorites from the festival.

Mar 20, 2009 Bottle thanks to chef201atc. Bourbon Barrel. Bottle number 818/1800. Pours with a huge, fluffy, light brown head over a hazy golden body. very good retention (on a barely wine? I guess...) Aroma of bourbon barrel, brown sugar, maple and light bitterness. Taste has some light bitterness, caramel, brown sugar, and baking products (I think I meant sweet dough in my notes). Syrupy mouthfeel, light carbonation, warming on the palate.
I would eat my hat if this thing is only 8.75%

Mar 20, 2009 Bottle. Nose-caramel. Taste-high CO2, Sprite, ginger ale, good sharp CO2, unsweet fig, a really perfect mix of unsweet molasses and fig, perfect balance of dark fruits, medium alcohol. A winner.

Mar 18, 2009 Bottle shared at tasting. Thanks! Pours reddish brown with a fizzy beige head. Smell is caramel sweetness and maybe some vanilla. Taste is extremely (overly) dry and oaky with a tiny bit of caramel and maybe vanilla. No bourbon and there is some metallic tartness. Extremely fizzy mouthfeel. So so.
