Apr 14, 2009 I happened to stop by Dark Horse for the first time and they were selling 4 packs of this. Pours brown with a tan head. Aroma of sweet caramel and dark fruits. 15% ABV is well hidden and I thought the beer was smooth. Dark fruits dominate the flavor, very sweet and full body beer

Apr 8, 2009 Bottle shared by Hophead22. Pours a cloudy reddish brown with no head. Aroma is a fruity sweet caramel. Flavor is complex with fresh fruits and dark dried fruits, brown sugar, toffee, and caramel, some alcohol hotness but not much considering the ABV. Hop bitterness seems low and sweetness is high. Big and full bodied with low carbonation.

Mar 24, 2009 12 ounce bottle from mibirder. Thanks! This says barleywine on the label so someone correct me if this is not the correct beer. Pours a reddish copper color with a thin head. Decent retention and lacing. Aroma of toffee, chocolate, big spicy hops and subtle dark fruits. Taste is toffee, strawberry, cherry, citrus and other fruits, licorice. Very complex. Full bodied and quite sticky.

Mar 9, 2009 Bottle shared by Rogueone. Cloudy amber pour with a medium off-white head. Sweet and malty aroma with alcohol that is more subtle than the 15% ABV would suggest. Malty flavor with hints of alcohol, fruit and a touch of hops.
