Apr 23, 2004 Copper/orange in colour. Aroma of sugar, quite floral, some alcohol and rather sweet. Flavour of floral hops, some alcohol, very sweet. Smooth medium-large body. Finishes with a mild warming alcohol bitterness. A bit to young.

Feb 28, 2007 bottle - Pours orange/brown with a thin head. The aroma has malt, caramel, mild hops, and perhaps a bit of oak. The flavor is caramel malt well balanced by some moderate hops taste and some fruit tones. Full bodied and tasty, it’s worth a try.

Dec 10, 2003 Bottling date Jan. 27, 2003. Full, alluring aroma, candied malts, a prodigious amount of hops and spicy, peppery, fiery alcohol, with low notes of brown sugar, toasty grain, pineapple, cinnamon, flowers and fresh herbs. Partially opaque garnet color, a light dusting of sediment, with a fine, dissipating head and elegant lacing. Begins richly sweet and malty, becoming fruity and predominantly hoppy, with a lengthy bittersweet, warming and alcoholic finish. Quite full-bodied, with a rather syrupy, sticky, mouth-coating texture. Balance is extraordinary, the body supporting the luscious malts and massive hoppiness with equal aplomb. An excellent Barleywine and a fine choice on a blustery, snowy night such as this. Cheers, Kinz.

Oct 24, 2008 2004 12 oz. bottle via trade with kp - Pours a cloudy deep amber color with a thin off white head that faded pretty quick. No lacing. Light carbonation. Aroma is vinous and full of esters. Flavor is big esters and some malt sweetness. The alcohol is noticeable in this one. A pretty nice BW. Thanks Keith.

Nov 7, 2005 Vintages 98 through ’03 Copper in color with no head to little white head as the vintage was younger. Aroma was fruity,slightly vinous and caramel malt charcater. Warming body washes over your palate on all vintages. Older version show less sweeteness a slightly drier finish. Over all a nice barleywine and it appears to cellar well.

Oct 30, 2006 Bottle shared by moejuck: Orange with a white head. Aroma, caramel, some mildly spicy hops. Flavor, caramel, spicy hops, decent brew, but my palate may have been shot at this point. I’m sure I’ll have it again.

Jun 24, 2008 Bottle from kramer17801. Thanks man!
Pours an attractive amber with a light creamy beige head. Very viscous looking pour. Smell is malty with mostly caramel and a touch of fruitiness. Taste is rich, smooth, creamy sweet leaning maltiness in the form of caramel and lightly honey too. A bit of alcohol coming in through the flavor, but not bad for 11.4%. Pretty mild hop-wise but a bit of bitterness shows, but its definitely a sweeter, but shy of cloying barley wine.
