12 oz. bottle courtesy of a trade with The Epeeist. Pours a hazy amber with a thin off-white head that disappeared after the first sip. Lots of fat carbonation bubbles clinging to the sides of the glass. Light aroma of caramel with some lemon detected as well. The flavor is caramel with some citrus hops towards the finish. A bit more effervescent than I would care for in a barley wine. Some butteriness, but not as much as I would expect in a barley wine. Probably not something I’d revisit.

Nov 20, 2008 Bottle from Immy, thanks. Celebrated the re-launch of rate beer with this one, alcohol was well hidden, easy to drink for a Barley wine. Some fruit and spice, sugar, was expecting abit more flavor to this one, but it was still good, drinkable, ok.

Oct 24, 2008 2004 <b>12 oz. bottle</b> via trade with <i>kp</i> - 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.

Sep 5, 2008 Sampled at RBSG ’08 Grand Tasting at Pizza Port Carlsbad. Another backlogged rating. Poured from bottle. Light amber color with a mild plum flavor with a bit of spice and cherry. Sweet vanilla and dark fruit flavors. Earthy maple and toffee notes shine underneath. Nice body. Really tasty stuff.
