Apr 21, 2008 Bottled 4/6/07. Poured near-clear deeper orange with a short-lived cap of beige head. The aroma picked up sherry and fruity sweetness first with a layer of caramel close behind.. the final impression was a building, greener alcohol. The flavor had deeper honeyed and dark fruity sweetness at the core with fresh alcohol-laced grassy bitterness surrounding.. sticky, warm finish with a solid amount of dry bitterness. Thicker-bodied and syrupy at times on the palate with OK balance.. prickly alcohol and bitterness stood out at times, so it didn’t flow perfectly.. lower carbonation worked well here. This was a good beer.. but just wasn’t cohesive enough to be great.

Mar 16, 2008 Poured an almost clear amber copper color. The color of a whiskey. It had a thin light tan head that disappeared rather quicly to a thin film. There was a nice sweet spicy aroma. The initial taste was quite creamy with an alcohol taste that was hidden pretty well by the sweetness from the malt and honey. The hops gave the beer a backgound bitterness that that complimented the sweetness. This was a very good beer full of flavor and a variety of tastes.

Mar 14, 2008 12oz bottle.....pours a semi-transparent amber brown with a very thin off-white head..... typical sweet caramel malt, almost cough syrupy. not something that i enjoy.... flavors are much of the same and it still remains cloyingly sweet..... probably a little too much age on this one.

Mar 7, 2008 Pours clear light amber with little head. Aroma of malt, slightly hopped. Pretty straight forward. Not the best barley wine I’ve had but not a bad beer either.

Mar 5, 2008 12oz bottle from Immy and someone else (sorry I forgot). Heavy fruit and caramel on the nose. Very malt forward. Prunes, apricot and a kiss of citrus zest. Lots of rich, warm caramel. Pours a cloudy dark orange/brown with virtually no head and little evidence of carbonation. Toasted caramel and toffee, almond and cashews, alcohol, bready malt and a hint of hops on the tongue. Medium bodied, low carbonation with a kick of alcohol on the finish,
