Oct 8, 2005 Bottle: Courtesy of The_Beer_God via trade. Aroma is rather sweet. Bourbon is definitely in the nose with some caramel and toffee. Pours a bright transparent orange with an insignificant off-white head. Nice mellow caramel and vanilla flavors up front. Nice bourbon finish with a moderate warming affect.

Oct 5, 2005 GABF 2005. Clear brownish orange with no head. Whiskey, sweet molasses aroma with a touch of charr and smoke. Very sweet flavor, bordering on cloying, with brown sugar notes, molasses whiskey and a slight roast. Alcoholic finish.

Oct 3, 2005 GABF 2005:
Pours redish with little head or lacing. Big aroma with everything sweet hitting you. Taste was a combination of alcohol and sweet. I might have given it a better rating but, it was almost too sweet for me.

Sep 9, 2005 Updated: Nov 29, 2005Poured a hazy dark amber with a minimal off-white head. I had this fresh and now about a year later. I wish I rated it when I first had it. I think it has gone down hill somewhat. Sweet malty flavor and aroma. Brown sugar, fruity, light notes of bourbon and lighter notes of wood. Bitter finish and semi-dry. Flavors were melded together but not really in a good way. Full bodied.
2005 vintage. Terrfici aroma. Nose full of Vanilla. Creamy and delicious (bumbed up a pt. for aroma and flavor)

Aug 8, 2005 The body is the color of amber maple syrup under a fleeting smallish head of white.
Cold right after the pour this has the aroma of fresh cold apples. Caramel begins to come on as it warms.
The flavor is sweet, but not overly so, with a bit of bourbon.

Jul 15, 2005 12oz. bottle dated July 2, 2004 thanks to Jeffc666. Hazy orange/amber color with a small white head. Sweet caramel aroma with some bourbon and dried fruits in the background. Flavor is big time caramel, sweet malt, bourbon and oak. Alcohol is extremely well hidden. I’m not a big fan of bourbon beers but this one was a little bit subdued.

Jul 8, 2005 Poured an amber color with a small head.. Aroma is heavy on the vanilla with some hoppiness and a bit of alcohol. Flavor is Oak, vanilla, pineapples, citrus and a bit of alcohol.. Medium mouthfeel with good carbonation.. This is one fine barley wine..

Jul 7, 2005 First off, this beer has some solid potential. Lots of vanilla, malt and a faint whiff of whiskey alcohol on the nose. Good head, reddish amber. But it’s a sock in the nose of alcohol when you take that first sip. There are enough good flavors to make up for it: caramel, vanilla, whiskey, and sweet fruit syrup all extend to the end of the beer. Soft, long palate. As it mellows, this beer will certainly improve.
