Apr 3, 2005 (Bottle) IPA coloured body with a thin, white, quick dissipating head. Nose of strong iodine and soy. The flavour is warming with honey, figs, malt and hops. Above average but forgetable...

Mar 14, 2005 Lots of flavour, quite wine like, but there seems to be a sourness and the alcohol is overwhelming, taks away from the flavour.

Mar 13, 2005 Cloud orange-golden beer with a thin head. Aroma is very malty, sweet nutty aroma, caramel and toffee. Flavour is also quite sweet, toffee, brown sugar and a bit of biscuity cookie dough malts. Light bitterness rounds it off. Nice UK style barleywine.

Mar 13, 2005 Golden-amber colour. Aroma has off-phenols. Rich brown sugary character with butter and nuts. That would make a good dessert, but as a barley wine, it’s a little odd. Warming finish. Long, tasty finish.

Mar 1, 2005 02.19.05 Tap at Toronado BWF Hazed amber, sticky. White bready, ripe grains. A bit light on the nose but the flavor is big and sweet. Brown sugar. Little hop presence and soft finish.

Feb 2, 2005 Gotta love this most excellent brewery...
Pours a very cloudy amber with a small head that leaves a little bit of lace down the glass.
Aroma is typical of the style, only a little bit sweeter.
Flavor is a bit harsh. It has some great potential, but this is a bit much. I’m putting a few away for six months or so and I’ll definately come back to it, but right now it’s on the green side. Palate is crisp yet almost cloying. Overall, as I stated, it needs some time and it will be great.

Jan 28, 2005 Slightly cloudy orange with a substantial white head, of moderate duration. Good lacing.
Nose of figs, chestnuts, and citric hops.
Chewy body, with a palate of figs, raisins, rum, and chestnuts, with an underpinning of citrusy Cascade hops. Fairly complex,and strongly flavored with a really long, mouthcoating finish. The alcohol is not obtrusive, but does build on the palate, as the bottle empties. Reminds me of a more complex Jolly Roger, from Maritime Brewing.

Jan 23, 2005 Pours a hazy dark oragne, gold/bronze tones toward the edge. Aroma is malty and sweet. Flavor is creamy, lots of malt with hop/alcohol overtones. A nice brew, thanks to Larry Pitonka for this one!
