Feb 17, 2008 On cask at the CBW. Compared to most barley wines (and the discription here) this stuff is dark. Has a taste that leaves your palate and throat warm. Flat alky laced beer. Fruit soaked in alky flavors. Very rude and over the top, like any good barley wine. Long lasting alky flavors and bitterness on the finish. Not one of my favorite styles, yet on style.

Nov 30, 2006 CMUBEEERMAN let me try this. This is a big, hoppy, malty barley wine. Lots of warming power and light on carbonation a la the growler. I liken to old numbskull and perhaps old horizontal in some respect.

Nov 24, 2006 Poured a dark clear brown with minimal white head. Aroma is a bit piney and earthy hop aromas. Flavor is malty with a faint bitter hop finish, earthy oaky undertones. Overall, very mellow barleywine that masks alcohol well. Even BMC lovers will enjoy this one. Good pick.

Nov 23, 2006 thanks to cmubeerman for pour from growler. IPA smell with alcohol. lightish appearance, big head. certain barleywine taste up front. big hop finish. almost would put this close to DIPA in taste/texture. definitely caramel front end. fills out well as it warms. alcohol pretty evident throughout.

Nov 15, 2006 On tap at the Church Brew Works. Hazy caramel, off white head. Aroma is fruit and malt. Flavor is fruit, vanilla, wheat, a bit hoppy. Rather smooth and not like other barley wines that I’ve had.

Nov 7, 2006 Deliciously fruity barleywine. Aroma and flavors of grapefruits, apples, pears, plums, cherries. Despite the many fruity flavors the sweetness is not overwhelming. Very good, very delicious.

Aug 21, 2006 Cask sample at the brewpub. The beer pours a very dark amber color with a minimal beige head that is gone quickly. Very little lacing is evident. Huge caramel and malt aroma. Rich and smooth sipping beer with an emphasis on sweet malt, caramel and brown sugar flavors. There is a bit of bitterness in there that keeps it from becoming cloying. The finish is sweet brown sugar and maple, and even a bit of a sorgum aftertaste. Pretty interesting from start to finish.

Oct 17, 2005 On tap at Church, 10/14/2005. Listed at 60ibu. Piney citrus hop aroma - very nice and luckilly strong - they were brewing that afternoon, so the whole church smelled malty. Taste was smooth and thick with malts, fruits - black cherry, plum, apricot; ended very dry and piney. Amber color, short head that settled into a ring of lacing. One of their better high abv attempts.
