Apr 29, 2003 A hoppy barleywine with beautiful color. Sweet, light, malty, alcoholic aroma. Defintely a strong alcohol taste.

Mar 17, 2002 I wish there was a rating for originality because there is no other Barley Wine that resembles this. Very light in color and in body but heavy on alcohol and hop after-taste. The Virginia honey is very apparent but not overwhelming. Rather mild as this style goes but a good Barley Wine for those that don’t necessarilly love the style or who haven’t tried one before.

May 3, 2004 Bottled 1998-Pours a deep cloudy brown with a small white head. Aromas of honey, coffee, and lots of sugar. slightly thick mouthfeel but leaves quickly. Not very carbonated, maybe bad sealing, but flaviors of honey, spice, and a little toffee. A very nice barley wine that I am lucky to have one aged, but it’s still missing something. But it is still better than a lot of barleywines out there. Thank you zathrus13 for the trade.

May 24, 2004 Malt and caramel aroma, copper,tiny cream head. Flavours of the malt and hops mesh together creating a lovely warm treacle toffee. Sweet, warming, full bodied and well balanced. Terrific!
Thanks jgb9348!

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.

Mar 19, 2004 Updated: Feb 14, 2005(1998 bottle in March 2004):
Earthy maltiness hugging light citrus and yeasty cocoa…Hefty pine hops kissing the muscular dark malt body but do not linger very long…Aroma promised much more than the mouth delivered in this nonetheless excellent example of a delicious style…9/4/8/4 16/20
(2004 bottle in 2005):
Resinous, floral, citrusy and woody hops converge rigorously with the molasses, honey and cough drop sweetness...Wooden dryness ensues, exhorting a brown rum and port sweet alcohol flavor...Caramel and oranges blend beautifully in the silky sweet feel...A bit too young for now, but I know it can reach dazzling heights...7/3/8/4 15/20

Jul 22, 2002 Updated: Nov 18, 2004Above average American barleywine. Reddish brown in color. Strong alcohol taste with slight spice but can be occasionally soapy. That’s the only drawback me or my friends can find. They prefer Monster while I prefer this.

Oct 9, 2004 Botle. Golden in color. Malty aroma, and hoppy. Flavor is very heavy. Full bodied. I get vanilla flavor out of this. Drinkable. Enjoyable.
