12 oz bottle split with a friend from Binnys (Orland Park, IL). Pours a golden hue, light amber, largely transparent with head that dies immediately to minimal film. Aromas are a bit sweet, corny sweetness with caramel, toffee, minimal hops, brewhouse wort feeling. Hmmmmm. Initial is sweet, a bit of a syrupy body. Caramel and toffee sweetness, although lighter, syrupy but minimal sweetness. Light florals, sweetness comes in fuller further in. Minimal complexity with the hops died out. Ok, too thick, sweet for me.

Jul 10, 2009 Bottle@Home, bottled nov 04. Cookie dough and carrots aroma. Cloudy, amber colour, beige firm small head, good lace. Very very sweet, very very bitter, tangerine, lots of spices, pepper, nutmeg, laurel, cookie dough. Very sticky, very alcoholic. Flavours are complex but still due to it’s sugar sweetness one-dimensional. Strangely enough it’s age didn’t really show.

Jun 23, 2009 Draft at brewpub. Bring on the malt! Kind of boozy, with some nice orange and raisin flavors and a general sweetness. Mouthfeel is quite thick with some alcohol warmness in the end. Looking forward to getting some of this to age.
2004 bottle on 6/2009. Already past it’s prime. A simple sweet malt flavor is really all that is left here. Disappointing. (Knocked down overall impression one notch)

Jun 19, 2009 Pours clear copper color with tan head. Aromas of caramel, dark fruits, molasses and alcohol. Raisin, caramel and alcohol flavors. Alcohol is a bit overwhelming. Medium body that is thinned out some by the high alcohol. Minimal carbonation. A good winter warmer.

Jun 10, 2009 A very unique barley wine. Pours a murky dark orange ad a nice gray head with smells of dried fruits and oranges. Flavor is sweet due to the dried fruits but end is balanced with a sour tart warming due to the high alcohol.

Jun 5, 2009 12 oz. bottle from Grape & Gourmet (bottled 11/21/08). Dark orange pour with an off-white head. Aroma of plum, raisin, orange, sugar, grassy hops, and booze. Complex in flavor with notes of dark fruit and some sourness; noticable alcohol burn. Overall, really not bad but I personally think it tries too hard. The alcohol is a bit too high.
