Apr 25, 2009 Pours dark orange/brown color with modest off-white head that dissipates quickly.
Nose has mixed fruit such as canteloupe, peach, and hops. Maple & caramel are present also.
Palate has a lot of alcohol warmth, more dark fruit, malt sweetness, and mouth puckering hops at the end. Maple & caramel come through also, maybe some fig newtons.
Very slow drinking. More fruit oriented in flavors and aroma compared to most barleywines.

Apr 25, 2009 Shared this with CBlado. Pours a cloudy, honey amber with a thin head. Hoppy, floral scent. Being my first barley wine, I didn’t know what to expect. First taste is a blend of choice hops, then you begin to taste and feel the subtle alcohol. End notes are warming and not bitter. One to enjoy on a damp, cold night. Thanks CB!

Apr 14, 2009 Bottle shared by lithy. Poured brown with an off-white head that settle to a ring. Nice fruit aroma of raisins and cherry with a light alcohol backing. The flavor found a great mix of cherries, raisins, and prunes. Alcohol is well hidden in the flavor compared to the aroma. Medium to full body and warming. Nice!

Apr 14, 2009 Simple tasting with allot of alcohol shining through in the finish. Still suprisingly drinkable for the ABV and even though I’m lacking flavour overall theres still nothing that annoys me when drinking it. Really basic flavour profile though and aging is required to say the least.

Apr 10, 2009 Bottle. Sampled most recently at Tria Fermentation School, 3/10/09. Pours reddish amber, capped with a small white head. Aroma of toffee, citrus, and alcohol. Flavor is sweet overall, with caramel and notes of dates and other dark fruit; some citric hops enter the fray towards the finish. Nice barleywine; does not seem 15%

Apr 4, 2009 Strong malty flavor with pronounced bitters, smell and appearance of red wine. Headless. I prefer Thomas Hardy.

Apr 3, 2009 Pours with a two-finger, bubbly cream head that fades quickly and leaves some lace. Pale, cloudy amber color, ton of yeast left in bottle. Good carbonation and medium bodied. Nose is sweet malt and alcohol. Flavor is raisins and alcohol, finishes smooth and sweet NOT a session beer . . . savor this beer. This is one of the best barley wines brewed in the States. $16.49 for a 4-pak of 12oz bottles from Colonial Spirits Acton, MA
