Dec 22, 2003 Clear ruby red with a light tan head. Sharp sour grass and vegetable aroma. Rubber-like flavor
with some plum and with a syrupy "candy corn" flavor. A bit unpleasant, but a big malt backbone.

Jan 25, 2004 Oh, sweet Jesus! I drank way too much of this at the 2003 Steamboat Festival. This one is worth the trip to Ft. Collins for the barleywine lover. If you could imagine the marriage of a chocolate brownie with a fine single malt...well, you've just got to try this one.

Feb 15, 2003 Couldn't really see the color in the bar, but it appeared dark amber. Thick and chewy mouthfeel. Big and sweet black licorice flavors exude throughout. Only mildly hoppy. Alcohol is hidden rather well, but this beer has a kick!

Feb 1, 2007 tap at the brewpub. pour is a deep red like a cloudy ruby with a decent head. smells of alcohol pine, vanilla and caramel. first taste i thought wow, this is grainy. same on the second and third. once i got past that to the other flavors which are mainly booze, some fruits, like banana and oranges, but the husky grain flavor domninated this sweet brew.

Dec 12, 2004 Updated: Dec 26, 2004Ruby. Dying head. Nose of molasses, honey, oak, sherry and dark fruits. Well aged and melded malt driven flavor. Notes of caramel and molasses, sherry and dark fruits. Well hidden alcohol. Medium bodied but the texture is fairy watery. Still though, like almost every barley wine, this is pretty damn good.

Dec 12, 2004 Big molassis aroma. Dark copper with no head. Very sweet and sticky palate. Big molassis and caramel taste, a little overwhelming. Mild hopping and bitterness in the finish.
