Jun 12, 2009 Pours a hazy dark orange, with off-white head. Very malty barleywine; caramel, bread, earthiness, slightly roasty, and finishes with some bitter floral hops. Rich flavor and full mouthfeel. honestly I didn’t think it was that tasty though, still good beer.

Jun 9, 2009 Bottle @ City Beer San Francisco 2009. Average fizzy white head that mostly lasted. Fair display of lacework. Dark amber cloudy color. Aroma of bread, toasted malt, caramel and quite nice hoppy floral and citrus notes as well. Full bodied with a soft carbonation and light alcoholic thick texture. Moderated sweet and bitter flavor. Light lingering floral hoppy and malty finish.

Jun 9, 2009 2009-06-06. Dark brown body with a good sized beige head. (4+) Rich malty aroma, caramel malt. (7+) Flavour has similar rich malt, lightly warming alcohol adds a different note to it. The alcohol is noticeable but not at all rough. Sweet caramel, mild earthy touches. (8+) Medium palate is nice and suits the beer. Really good, very drinkable. I had been looking forward to trying this. A vintage bottle was icing on the cake! Enjoyable beer that I had been looking forward to. July 2007 Vintage. Bottle at the brewpub, Montreal

Jun 4, 2009 Bottle = 9.8%abv. – A crimson amber body, short off white head. The aroma is massively malty, a bit hit with alcohol, plums, dates, bing cherries, blackberry. Flavor accentuates light edges of smoke, molasses, and toffee sweetness. Palate is sticky, and that full-size abv does not try to hide from the senses. Nice Barleywine… I need this just before bed!

Jun 3, 2009 Bottled. Poured rich, plummy amber with a short, but well-retained cap of off-white head. The aroma was much brighter than expected with juniper berries, lighter fruit, and definite warmth over aged caramel, biscuits, brown sugar, and burnt molasses.. the hops and spices (?) kept it very interesting. The flavor opened with tangy floral bitterness and a hint of red apple, opening into rich dark fruits (including raisins), blackstrap molasses, and caramel at the core.. finished with more floral and some earthy bitterness and juniper over aged maltage.. alcohol warmed it up nicely. Heavier-bodied with moderate rolling carbonation on the palate, balanced well against the brighter notes.. stuck well on the long, enjoyable finish. Excellent brew!
