brewblackhole (1222), Muskego, Wisconsin, USA Nov 26, 2004 Rich malt aroma, with berry coming in a second whiffs, Surprising dry friut malt taste, with alcohol backtaste. Alcohol comes on stronger towards end, it also gets a little sweeter JPDIPSO (4210), Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA Oct 28, 2003 Bottle #700-749. Cloudy brown color with a moderate tan head. Caramel, light malt, fruit cake(oranges, lemons,pineapple, light cherries, and dates), and a touch of alcohol and DMS in the aroma. Thin oily feel. Acidic start with a mild nutty/woody sweetness, along with mild fruit cake flavors in the middle. Very sharp and acidic in the finish. Why put a barley wine in a liter bottle? I'll have to recap and have one snifter at a time. joet (1622), Fulton, California, USA Feb 24, 2002 A thin-headed amber slightly lighter than Humboldt’s barley wine. Very floral, some bubblegum, and some alcohol in the nose. This is a phenomenal aroma. Malty and a tad sour with some lactic feel. Was awesome in the nose and fell apart in the mouth.
