Sep 1, 2007 [stem glass @ the brewpub] Incredible fruity aroma-- apricot, pear, peach.. very intriguing and complex. Dense, full flavors are packed with fruits, solid malt character and some incredibly complex tart acidity (I assume from the Chardonnay barrel). Syrupy, slick mouthfeel. Outstanding, overall.

Sep 1, 2007 Tap@Cambridge. Quite a heavy barleywine, lots of raisiny sweetness and some caramel aswell. Some light woody characters, with some acidity which gives the flavour a good edge in the finish. NIce, full bodied.

muddy burnt orange, sweet oaky and valilla aroma with sweet caramel malt, lots of sweet oak flavor, touch of vanilla, fleeting hint of alcohol, light tartness, lots of mixed stuff going on - all of it tasty but not well coordinated,

Aug 5, 2007 2007 batch - 6 ounce wine glass at the brewpub - cloudy copper, with a thin ring of lace - chardonnay and oak dominate the aroma, with some dried fruit and soft earthy notes underneath - tart, vinous, and quite dry for a barleywine - oak is quite apparent, but not overpowering - fruit skins, light herbal qualities - slight wildflower honey sweetness cuts the dry character a bit - alcohol warmth and white wine tannins in the finish - interesting.

Jul 29, 2007 Sampled at the brew pub. It pours orange with no head. It has notes of honey and wild flower. The finish give notes of honey. It does pack a punch.

Jul 1, 2007 Sample from tap at the brewpub. Pours hazy and deep orange with little. Aroma is deep wineous, slight rubber note, a bit of dried fruit and a bit fruity. Flavour is very sweet with alcohol sticking out. Slight citric bitter in the finish. Interesting different barley wine.

May 14, 2007 Sampled at the 5th Annual Boulder Strong Ale Fest. Beer is murky light caramel brown with a tiny, white, frothy head that diminishes quickly into a whisp and a ring.<P>
First impression on the nose is bright and fresh. Malty with light notes of caramel, toasted grain; Hoppy with light notes of lemon zest; Trace yeast note of dough; Miscellaneous notes of moderate green apple and pie spiced alcohol, trace white grape vinousness.<P>
The flavor is heavily sweet, moderately acidic (juicy), trace bitter with a longish, moderately acidic, lightly sweet finish.<P>
The body is light, the texture is watery and the carbonation is lively.
