Jan 3, 2009 On tap at the Dragonmead Brew Pub. Poured a medium and cloudy golden color with a very larged sized, frothy white head. Aromas of caramel, citrus, floral, and herbal. Tastes of caramel, citrus, the same herbalness, and fruity. Light alcohol in the finish but overall very well hidden.

Feb 7, 2006 My favorite from this brewery so far. Light copper, or deep amber appearance, lots of well retained head. Much more hoppy than I expected, a wonderful floral, and a little herby hop aroma. Flavour combined a decent bitterness with carmely malts and the aroma persisting through an alcoholic finish. Perhaps the malt content is low, but it seemed lighter than other barleywines I’ve had, lacking those wonderful dark fruity flavours. and the heavier body. This seemed half barleywine, half a bright flavoured/lighter body Imperial IPA to me.

Dec 15, 2005 Mmm very good. Pours a nice dark amber with a small head. Aroma was malt. Flavor was malt at first but it was balanced with some sweetness from fruits. Good barely wine but it could stand to be a little stronger.

Dec 29, 2006 Draft... Clear, deep amber ale with a huge, off-white head. Terrific retention. Nose of toffee, fuzzy fruit and pine. Earthy, sweet flavor. Nicely bittered, but the hops don’t cut too deeply into the malt. Full-bodied and syrupy with subtle carbonation. Sweet, boozy finish. Dries out at the wee end.

Aug 15, 2006 Tap @ GTMW 2006. Semi-translucent and caramel bronze in color with an icy grey sheaf on top and a few sporadic bubbles. Sweet orange marmalade glazes marigolds and baguettes, aromatically meeting orange hearts and spruced pines. Forestry bittered flavor aligns with tropically sugar-sweetened corn flakes. Fairly massive mouth feel hinges on orange liveliness and buttery amaretto sweetness. A bit of a barleywine letdown, with a chalky chocolate toffee trail and perfumed maple nut fudge brick follow-through into the finish.

Mar 15, 2009 On tap at Dragonmead 3-13-09. Poured cloudy amber some lacing. Smelled of thick malt, some alcohol, and fruity. Tasted very sweet, some light fruit, like apple and grape, some dark fruit, like prune, cherry, fermented berry, and raisin. Decent alcohol presence. Very sticky body.

Nov 29, 2004 On tap: Caramel, citrus, and banana bread in the nose. Dark transparent amber with a white head. Light malt and caramel up front. Light banana bread comes in the finish. Nice citrus hops in the finish. A little light but decently balanced.
