Jan 31, 2005 Draft, EBF: Hazy brown with ruby hints. Gentle hops complement a complex flowery perfume with orange and green grapes trying to bring a mellow vinous side to this beast, but despite a faint acidity, they don’t manage to strike through this highly pleasant smokiness. Typical toffee and caramel malts stand firmly from the beginning to the finish making this perhaps just a touch too sweet to be among the top of the genre, but this was to me highly enjoyable. Medium body is well enhanced by a smooth and soft carbonation that carries the flavours into a long smoke and fruit aftertaste. Yum!

Oct 11, 2004 GABF 2004: Cloudy copper color with a rich frothy tan head. Sweet, rich caramel malty aroma with a touch of hops. Body starts full and caramely sweet with a touch of metallic flavor. A sticky, malty finish hides the alcohol well. Nicely balanced mild bitterness throughout. An enjoyable barleywine.

Oct 11, 2006 Draft... GABF ’06... Clear, deep golden ale with a small, creamy, off-white head. Earthy aroma of wood and leather. The flavor is sweet with lots of toffee, fuzzy fruit, honey and maple sap. Full-bodied with an oily mouthfeel and soft carbonation. Lengthy, bittersweet finish.

Jan 30, 2005 Updated: Mar 29, 2005Sample at XBF:
Fruity malt mastodons carrying caramel tuns spiked with piney hops...A potent and healthy equilibrium, leading the way to a nutritious offering, certainly...A muscular body warmly harbors proficient earthy malts, strong resinous bitterness, alcohol and cherry-like fruitiness...Not expressive enough to be world-class, but definitely one I’d like to study and nurture for a few hours...
On tap at the brewery:
Burnt berries and gargantuan malts and their sweetness dominate what slowly becomes a J.W.Lee’s Harvest Ale substitute...Excellently powerful...
