Dec 3, 2006 12oz - 2003 #011 - thanks Dukefan - Aroma of toasted caramel malt and toffee followed by dank dark fruits like plum, raisin and prune. Alcohol and hops are also present. Pours muddy brown with a small head and decent lacing. Flavor is strong raisin and caramel with an alcohol sting followed by hop bitterness. All the flavors meld together very nicely. Palate is sticky and tart. A tasty barley wine that has held up very well over the years.

Nov 27, 2006 A little light for a barleywine, but great. Malty. Seems like something Frodo Baggins would drink on the way through the Elvish realm.

Nov 12, 2006 Updated: Nov 15, 2006One of those great finds that you have had a few times and assumed you have rated but low and behold have not, malty with bold spiceyness. A bit more chunky than most barleywines, but a nice drink.

Nov 11, 2006 Soapy off-white head, a hoppy barleywine. Carmel malt, a little roast. 2003 edition, average barleywine. A complexity of hops, citrus,cinammon and fruit. It all sounds tastier than it really is. Maybe by itself at dinner. Ohio International gathering, thanks JSquires.

Oct 24, 2006 On tap at Bridgeport, Portland. Deep chestnut with beige thin head. Perfumed hop aroma on top of a strong alcohol, gorgeously fruity barley wine. Beautifully perfumed aroma, then this lovely fruity malt base (red fruits), strawberry and then a great dose of hops. Syrupy alcohol Some alcohol too. I had this and the Rogue Old Crustacean on same evening and difficult to split them.

Jul 27, 2006 Updated: Oct 1, 2007On tap @ brewery. Brown w/thin white head. Aroma is some citrus, but underwhelming for a BW. taste has a nice hop finish to it and a clean profile, but there’s not much here to set it apart.

Jun 16, 2006 4 ounce sample at the brewpub in Portland, OR. Light, sweet, dried fruits in the nose with some caramel and toffee malts present. Light floral hoppiness. Pretty conservative nose. Transparent dark amber color with a smallish off-white head. Not really any lacing present. Malty, fruity flavor with raisins and dark dried fruits to start. Fair amount of caramel maltiness with some roasted malts present in the middle. Finishes with a bit of peppery hoppiness and lingering bitterness in the end. I don’t taste the 9% ABV. Tasty beer.
