Jul 23, 2007 Sweet dark fruit aroma that doesn’t hide the alcohol. Amber color with a typical barlywine sweetness to it and mild caramel flavor. Faint bitter hop in the finish.

Jul 22, 2007 12 oz. bottle shared with kleyland. Pours light amber with a medium sized white head. Alcohol hits you right off the bat. Finishes with a cane sugar sweetness that lingers for some time.

Jul 20, 2007 I had this beer very hot and fresh, was good though, definitly noticed the alchohol, can’t wait to let it sit and age, love the bottle though.

Jul 19, 2007 Bottled on 10-16-06. Notes from 1-20-07. You can taste the alcohol. Very sweet caramel malt flavor, very bitter too. The hops are all in the bitterness, there is not much for the hop flavor.

Jul 12, 2007 bottle. tiny, off-white, fizzy head into semi-sprkling, cloudy, brownish-orange body. aroma of light honey, dark fruit, caramel, some vinousness (overall lighter aroma than expected). Flavor is lightly acetic, with sweetness throughout. average carbonation. long finish duration. definitely one of those that improves with a bit of warming.

Jul 10, 2007 Updated: Oct 12, 20082 yr old bottle. Smelled quite a bit more in the way of dark fruit/figs and cherries. Alcohol is much more covered when compared to fresh bottles. The taste is fruity and toffee with a tangy, cherry-like texture. I think this beer has finally peaked.

9 month old bottle. Mostly clear orange color with a small head. Aroma of sweet caramel and toffee. Still quite warm! Taste some cherries and toffee. Hugely alcoholic finish. I’ll have to re-rate this after another year, or so.

Jul 10, 2007 Between 2-4 years old. 12oz bottle. Served in a chalice @ 64°. Aroma is white grapes, honey, alcohol, muted citrus, spice, wood? Smells good. Color is reddish copper with a very short lived head only brought on by a rough pour. Really coats the glass. Initial taste is honey, caramel, malt & orange marmalade followed by a rush of alcohol and dark fruits. There is a touch of nose burn at the end brought on by the alcohol, maybe due to the temp. Body is massive. This is a huge, nearly over the top beer and I like it’s unabashed nature. Makes a fine nightcap.

Jul 7, 2007 Fruity sweet aroma. Fruit in the flavour with a brown sugary-caramel flavour. Didn’t really get any alcohol out of it, surprisingly. Not very complex, but the age may have done that to it.
