| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 4, 2009 Sampled at a Mead, Cider, and Beer Tasting for Binny’s Beverage Depot in Glen Ellyn, IL. The pour to my wine/sampler glass was a brownish amber with an off white, foamy head and clingy spots of lacing. The aroma was malty, brown sugar sweetness, and dried fruit. The flavor continued the malt sweetness with warming alcohol and moderate hop bitterness. A good, potent sipper. mspindler (335), Alta Loma, California, USA

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 1, 2009 Dark red bordering on brown with a minimal head ringing the glass. Smell is good and taste is chewy caramel toffee with some bitterness at the end. This is delicious and does not remind me at all of a barleywine (I have trouble differentiating the two styles). I bet the barrel-aged version is a tasty beer.
