2005 cask on tap at Capital Ale House Virginia Beer Festival. Aromas of carmelized malts with rum soaked fruits and alchohol. Mostly clear golden with minimal white head. Raisins plums and earthy aged hop flavors over sweet carmelized malts with some woodyness.
Full body with sweet finish of spicey hop bitterness and alchohol warming.
Excellent.

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.
