Dec 17, 2004 2003:Bright majogony in color with a thin, tan head. Aroma of cherry Kool-Aid (TM) and molasses. Flavor of concentrated sugar, very dark fruit, and higher alcohols. Overall, a light character which I do not like in a barleywine. There should be some power even if it is the velvet hammer (i.e. Thomas Hardys pre-O’Hanlons). Quite dissappointing but this should get very, very interesting with age.

Dec 8, 2004 I have never rated ths one. Still the 2003 (with Fred on the label). Did they make a 2004? I have not seen it.
Apperance - Tawny (hehe - I finally got to use this word in a beer description) amber with smalll tiny bubble off-white head.
Aroma - Deeply maty with alcohol and some very faint hop and raisin notes.
Taste - Intensley malty at first with some hops and alcohol in the finish. Leaves me wanting another sip - which I am going to have.

Nov 27, 2004 Bottle pours a deep red amber with not much head or lace. The aroma is of fresh hops and malt. The flavor is sweet malt, sour Ale fruit notes, and a lingering hop bitter finish. The palate is sticky. Overall, this is not bad. Thanks Becky for hauling this from OR.

Nov 20, 2004 Cheers Gromit for yet another tastey beverage...POurs a dark red with a small off-white head that is quick to dissipate...Aroma is sweet with alcohol coming through...Starts out with some sweet maltiness that is coupled with dark fruit and a good dose of almost assertive hopppiness...Finnish seems a little sticky...This is a jam up Barleywine

Nov 13, 2004 Much fainte aroma than I expected, sweet pleasant cherry malt taste with a smooth texture, not as complex as advertised. We must have gotten a milder batch in Wisconsin

Oct 24, 2004 No. 011--2003 Vintage. Bright, clear chestnut. Light tan foam w/ fine bead. Rich, fruity & malty flavour of Christmas cake & butterscotch. Full bodied, resiny, syrupy feel. Complex fruity (cherries, plums, raisins) & malty Christmas cake flavour. Warm brady-ish notes in the finish.

Oct 17, 2004 Fine combination in the aroma of malt, hops, caramel and butterscotch. Auburn, small toffee head. The flavour is treacle and hops, which comes off a bit unusual but fine. Full bodied, mellow and warming. Marvellous! Thanks wohlfs and many Thanks to joey_capps for his hospitality during the Family adjustments he, Christi and Hunter are going through!!
