Jul 18, 2005 Updated: Jan 9, 2006Another offering from Phil (Haddon90) on his trip downunder. I poured this into a snifter and was immedately taken by the beautiful rich coppery colour and clean head. The nose is agreeably oloroso like and so the comment about sherry notes are very valid. There is a definite promise of the Alcohol to come as the depth of nose coming from the resinous oak aged character suggests something strong. The flavour doesn’t let you down at all. A rich and warming hit of syrupy caramel, cinnamon and bready notes comes through. This is one of the archetypal winter sippers, in your slippers, what a ripper. Onya Phil.

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.

Aug 10, 2005 From secret Santa. The nose of this malty mother hits immediately. A hazy burnt orange body had a tan had. Nose was thick, with sweet malts. Wow, this had a lot of wood characteristics, earthy, sweet, and roasted. Very syrupy, but dry to the finish, and the % gives a wicked warming.

Mar 12, 2006 Bottle. Enjoyed the beer. Great barleywine, wasn’t too overpowering, and liked the malt flavor.

Mar 20, 2003 Bottled on 2/19/98 - A hoppy barleywine with beautiful color. A nice beer to sip that's a bit different than most Barley Wine's.

Jan 18, 2004 Bottle 1999 Vintage: Beer pours cloudy with reddish brown with moderate off white head that eventually completely dissipates. Aroma is quite strongly malty sweet with strong alcohol, smells somewhat winey. Flavor and palate are the high points. Flavor is full with prominant wine characteristics. Initial flavor is sweet malt, the finish is eternal and wine like with significant alcohol warmth. This is very tasty.

Jan 24, 2003 Copper colored, maintains a small head(what I'd expect for a barley). I like this beer. English hops and well malted, seem to have a nice balance. The aroma had more of an alcohol scent than the flavor. Nice sipp'n winter brew!
