Jan 24, 2007 12 oz bottle acquired in a trade with Immy - thanks, dude! Bottled Feb ’06. Gorgeous amber body with thin lacing, almost opaque. The aroma hits you with a powerful nuttiness - definitely not an American hoppywine here. As it warms up, the richness of character emerges - wood, plums for sure, and a slight alcohol burn. It’s that last bit which makes me think that I should have kept this cellared for another 6-12 months, allowing the brew’s balance to emerge. Still, really fine stuff. Wish I had some more.

Aug 2, 2003 Beautiful nut-brown/amber colour, nice head. A very strong and full-bodied beer with lots of hops, but I think it will improve with age.

May 7, 2006 Updated: Feb 28, 2008Draft, Max’s on Broadway. Thanks to Odeed for the sample. Amber body with a small, off-white head. Aroma is lots of sticky, sweet caramel and pine. The flavor is very sweet, caramel and toffee, lots of grapefruit and pine. Medium bodied and sticky.

Feb 4, 2005 Bottled in ’03 courtesy of Slob. Hazy, murky brown color. Smallish tan head fades to a film. Very minimal lacing. Aroma is malty and sweet, honey is especially apparent to my beak. Very nice interplay of sweet malts and honey and the bitterness of the hops. Medium bodied. Slightly syrupy and coating. Large alcohol finish. Nice to sip on.

May 30, 2006 Feb ’04 bottling. Hazy amber-brown body, thin white head. Buttery, bready sweet caramel aroma. Maris Otter and tootsie roll chocolate in the flavor over leafy hops and alcohol. A nicely sweet English-style BW.

Apr 8, 2006 Red colored pour, thin white head. Taste is sweet and refreshing. Fairly easy to drink, not nearly as hoppy as I have pictured barley wines to be. A decent beer, worth trying any time you may see it. Very nice

Feb 15, 2004 Small tan head, lasting. Hazy brown with a copper hue. Malty, fruity nose, hints of vanilla and alcohol as it warms. Med/full body, coating. Good chewy malt flavor, toffeeish, along with a helthy dose of hops and some alcohol too. Finish is medium dry. A well made and highly drinkable barleywine.

Feb 17, 2005 bottle reads (feb 19 2004) *doing a side by side with a "oaked age release*this "specialty brew poured a copper red with not much head at all.the aroma and flavor were dominated by grapefruit,with a bit of caramel malts.honestly this was a bit one sided for me.its not really bad,just a very average barley wine.
