fordest (1954), Santee/San Diego, California, USA Mar 16, 2006 12 oz. bottle thanks to Slob. Special thanks too for the aged bottle. This was a 2003. Excellent aromas. Honey, molassas, caramel, dried fruit, a touch of chocolate. Flavors were more molassas and caramel on the front. Some slightly tartness in the middle. Kinda different there. The finish was alcohol warming and then a lingering of hops and some kind of spice. Very good radagast83 (1273), Fairfax, Virginia, USA Mar 12, 2006 Bottle. Enjoyed the beer. Great barleywine, wasn’t too overpowering, and liked the malt flavor. Sammy (3934), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Feb 25, 2006 pleasant aroma, alcohol was hidden from being prominent, but warmed and then jackhammered me at the end. Very nice mouthfeel, a good representation of the style. Bottle brewed February 19, 2004 and was mellowed.
A very nice barleywine courtesy I think of Dr. Jay.
