Oct 16, 2005 Not very barley wine-ish. Very full bodied. Almost syrupy. Mostly malty but some hops are thrown in there.

Jun 12, 2003 Updated: Jun 23, 2003An exemplary sample of a barley wine. Gorgeous copper/cider colour with a hint of sediment in bottom. Tempting buttercream head with enticing bubbles. Smells of hops and sweet malt. Makes a glorious impression on the tongue, exerting its big, honey-sweet malt flavour on the taste buds. Sweet-alcohol aftertaste. This is the best beer I've tasted by Dominion. I will go back and buy more to cellar.

Jan 22, 2007 Draft at the DC Brewpub. Rather strong yet tastly barleywine.Nice dark color. Aroma provided a good warning of what to expect. Strong flavor and a hop character almost made me wince. Much better by the 3rd sip. Was rather tastly though. I considerred getting a "tower" of this, but wasn’t ready to walk home

Mar 4, 2003 This barleywine is a very hoppy example of the style, exhibiting exremely spicy Mt Hood/Hallertauer flavor, much like what I found in Avery Czar. The malt is big as well, sweet, honeyed, showing a bit of fruitiniess, but framed with the hop spice. I'm tempted to say that the hop spice might be a bit much for me. Handsome cherry color.

May 11, 2005 Pours a clear orange amber color. Big malt aroma with a framework of floral hoppiness. Malty nose, builds into a greater level of sweetness with a tide of alcohol warmth backing it. Sharp and floral hoppiness dominates the finish, with more alcohol presence.

Mar 12, 2005 Bottle Jan 03. Pours a medium amber body with a sticky white head. Aroma is dark fruits, musty leather and oranges. Thick mouthfeel. Flavors are oranges, honey, dirt, carmel, and alcohol. Alcohol a little too strong tasting for me. Definately a warmer.

Aug 22, 2006 2006 bottle purchased from the brewpub. 11.4% alcohol is quite suprising. A little sweet and cloying. Very malty. Finish is too dry. I think this will improve w/ age.

Jan 27, 2007 Pours a dull hazy brown, with a quarter inch of white foam. This reduces to a ring in a few moments. The aroma is of toffee and brown sugar, with a hint of over-ripe pineapple.
Lots of toffee, caramel, and honey malt goodness. Very good hop balance with lots of resiny, almost oily, piney hops. A hint of orange peel and spicy hops in the finish, with a strong alcohol presence in the aftertaste. Full bodied, and the malt just clings to the roof of my mouth.
