11.5 oz. bottle. Pours a thick, opaque brown color with a very small tan head. Aromas of molasses, malt, and a hint of raisin. Analogous flavors along with a smoky flavor. Medium to heavily bodied. Definitely, has an alcoholic bite. Not bad.

Dec 31, 2009 Bottle. Poured a reddish hazy hue. Hoppy alchohol nose. Flavors are deep and tasty. A nice bite of alcohol mixes well with fruit and hop notes. Finish is bitter with a hint of sweetness. Very very good.

Dec 30, 2009 Thanks for sharing bro. Pours a rich ruby color with thin off white head. Aroma is of black cherry, black licorice, and light brown sugar. Taste isn’t as intense as the aroma but the licorice is more subdued and the caramel and brown sugar are more evident and well laid out. Alcohol is well hidden but gives you a nice warming effect. Aside from the off putting aroma it’s pretty good.

Dec 30, 2009 12oz bottle scored as an extra via trade. Pours a translucent, nearly opaque, sorta chunky looking copper amber with a thin, slightly beige head. Aroma is sweet, caramel, sweet doughs, a little salty, booze, rum, sticky fruits. Flavor is very fruity, apples, pears, caramel, toasted grains, the hops are still there too, with some lemons and oranges way at the back. Full bodied with a sweet, sticky, slightly bitter finish.

Dec 30, 2009 Dark dark brown, opaque with a light tan foam. Aroma is a bit biting, prunes, raisins, alcohol heat. Taste is a spiciness, estery almost, plums, raisins, alcohol thinning, a bit too carbonated for a barley wine.
