Aug 10, 2008 GABF 2007. A hazy golden beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet with notes of over ripe fruits - some peaches among others. The flavor is very sweet with notes of over ripe fruits - again peaches being strongest, also with notes of wood. The finish is dry woody and peachy.

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.

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,

Jun 30, 2008 (Draught, 2008 vintage) Pours a clear amber body with a small white head. Aroma of floral, tangerine, peach, clove, white grapes, honey, and subtle wood notes. Flavor of strawberry, toffee, cherry, and honey.

Nov 27, 2007 On tap at the 2007 GABF: Pours a hazy but mostly transparent golden with a thin ring of white bubbles. Aroma of sweet pale malt and a touch of citrus and light fruits. Body starts fairly full and caramely sweet with some slightly earthy tartness and a drier, more bitter and warming finish. Needs a little more balance and refinement.

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.

Jul 8, 2009 My Bottom Line:
White grapes and honeyed cereals benefit from this idiosyncratic Barley Wine’s malolactic finish to sculpt a wonderfully complex and personable flavor profile rounded out by sporadic alcohol splashes.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A thin ring of foam circles the cloudy honeyed amber.
-Carbonation is low, making the link with wine even more obvious.
-The wild (bretty?) and acidic finish manages to be refreshing despite the sweet flavors found upfront.
-The fruitiness is pleasant, but could have been more defined for this to be world-class.
On tap at the brewpub.

Mar 2, 2009 Little to no head, appears to be massively undercarbonated or flat, but shows up firm enough on the tongue, there’s still some body present. Cloudy apple juice appearance, traces of dirty particulates floating around in the glass. Spirtzy apple cider and champagne character, slightly boozy, overall little too sweet and juice like but interesting.
