| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 6, 2009 Draft at the brewpub. Light amber in color with a wispy thin white head. It was hard to get much aroma out of the serving glass, but I got a small note of sweet malt and some alcohol. Flavor was caramelly, sweet, and malty, pretty standard for a barleywine. Not a whole lot of hops in this one. Ho hum. Don’t make a special trip for it or anything... kp (8396), Woodstock, Georgia, USA

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Dec 20, 2008 Draft at brewpub 8/28/08-Poured a medium golden with a small white covering for a head. Had an aroma of hops, pine, and yeast. Taste of grapefruit, bitterness, and prunes. This medium bodied brew was in no way a barley wine. It had no malt or sweetness. texasbartender (160), Sugarland, Texas, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jul 28, 2008 The beer poured a slightly hazy red brown with a thin head. The nose was dominated by high alcohol with notes of sweet malts and dark fruits. The taste was what I expected from the nose it was deep and sticky with a heady feel of alcohol. The finish was something I couldn’t put my finger on, but it was a flavor I had gotn from there other beers so it might be the yeast or the malts. alexanderj (2264), Chino Hills, California, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 30, 2008 On tap at Blue Star; served in a goblet. Poured a murky, brownish-red with only the faint hint of a head. Aroma of sweet malt; caramel and fruit. Didn’t pick up on any hops. Flavor was a bit strange for the style; the flavors weren’t entirely different, its just something that I couldn’t put a finger on. Good amount of sweetness; all in all, it was pretty solid, if a bit weird. bleeng (598), Spring near Beersel, Texas, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 16, 2008 Served in a goblet!! Hazy dark gold with a nice small white head. Nose of malts, sweetness. Nice mouthfeel and tastes bitter! A bit (!) alcoholy, spicy, a light malt background. Unlike any barleywine I’ve ever had. Glad to see it on tap when I visited. fly (1332), austin, Tejas, USA
