Jul 17, 2008 Pours amber/copper/red. Thick whire head.
Aroma is malty and vanilla with undertone of oak.
The beer gained a lot by getting closer to room temperature and gained a stronger smokey note. Mouthfeel was filled with malt, sweet vanilla and tingly on the tongue. The 11% slowly sneak up on you, unnoticed.
A great mix of flavors, and another hit by this excellent brewery.

Jul 17, 2008 12 oz. into shaer for lack of sniffer. Rich brown pour with reddish hue and big pillows off-white head. Aroma is mostly alcohol and sweet malt but pretty tame compared to what I expected. Flavor was very funky at first: woody smoky with a little soy flavor, sweet malt, and more. Medium bodied on the palate but with as full and dense a mouth feel as a medium bodied brew could produce. Overall: unique approach to barley wine, but probably not worth the price in my opinion. Whatever... try it.

Jul 14, 2008 Pours a dark, amber honey with a small but dense khaki head that rings the glass. Delicious honey, malt, and maple nose aroma , smells very sugary sweet with some fruit and yeast too. Heavy beer. The texture is very smooth and creamy. Excellent malty start, the middle turns a little earthy with a dry tartness, but then some of the maple syrup flavor brings back a sweet, lingering finish. Hides the 11% ABV very well.

Jul 13, 2008 Pours out dark brown with some head. Taste is sweet and malty. With just a little hops. Nice balance, not a hopped up Barley Wine. The alcohol burn is barely present. However it is a strong 11%. Good beer.

Jul 11, 2008 Light brown hue with a very thin light tan head. Aromas of brown sugar, nectarines, and a touch of vanilla. The flavor of this beer is overshadowed by some of the alcohol punch, especially toward the finish. I detect honey, maple syrup, caramel notes, and some apples come through after it warms a bit. Nice beer overall.
