| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jul 6, 2007 This is the best Barley Wine I have ever had. A great start with a heavy almost purple/dark red body and heavy tinted head. Finishes with a great after taste and not too dry. The extra malts give it a heavy flavorful taste that is to die for. A great Beer. DragonStout (1386), Pataskala, Ohio, USA

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 27, 2007 (Bottle) Pours a clear amber body with a small beige head. Aroma of fruit bread, caramel, hazelnut, and vanilla. Flavor of nut bread, fruit, maple syrup, and alcohol. Bit thin; not malty enough for a barleywine. chef201atc (249), Weatherford, Texas, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 17, 2007 Caramel colored pour with a scant off-white head. Nose dominated by malty sweetness, some caramel and toffee. Mouthfeel is a bit thinner than it looks, moderate carbonation. Flavor starts sweet and finishes dry with some candied fruit in the middle. hopscotch (5549), Vero Beach, Florida, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 8, 2007 Bottle... Clear copper ale with a small, creamy, off-white head. Good retention. Vinous, dark fruit nose with a chocolate and caramel undertone. Rich, malty flavor with a sturdy, caramel backbone. Perfect bitterness to balance things out. Full-bodied and a touch syrupy with moderate carbonation. Dry, lightly bitter, grassy finish. Kudos to boboski for giving me the bomber! patrick767 (2058), fort wayne, Indiana, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 2, 2007 bottle - Pours coppery with a thin head. It smells very malty with a little alcohol. Caramel sweetness and some moderate hops balance okay in the flavor that’s joined by a touch of dark fruit. Overall it seems to lack depth. It’s definitely a barley wine and tastes pretty good, but it’s just not very interesting.
