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.

Courtesy of OldMrCrow. 04 vintage. Pours a cloudy brown with no head. Tastes of nuts, caramel, rich malt, and roasted barley. Finishes with a creamy nutty taste. Palate was extra smooth, with a thick malty feeling.

Dark orange in color with an off-white-orange head. Fresh malt aromas, accented by caramel, cake, custard, vanilla, and a slight herbal hop character. Sweeeet with a cakey/creme bruleey grapefruit rind finish. Ice tea like flavors start coming out upon warm up. Good brew and a good buy.

Orange. Typical, expressive, well aged, barley wine aroma with an equal balance between the malt and hops providing hints of apples, fruits, caramel, harsh hops and honey. Sweet, fruity, candy like malts in the flavor with a sharp but balanced hoppiness that gave notes of pine, resin and orange. Damn, this stuff was tasty.

Poours with an amber body topped by a thick head with a good amount of lacing. It’s sweet and malty with nice caramel and candy sugar notes with a nice peppery hop note in the background. Full bodied, smooth and a touch dry.

Funkey biscut, vinious malts and raw pisl malt nose. Mellows out in the mouth with candi sugar, sweet malt, a touch of herbal hops and bread. Very smooth mouthfeel has jsut enough body. 9% abv is hardley noticable.

Barley-wine aroma with some sugared jop resin and cream. Lacey white head on top of hazed orange. Very creamy mouthfeel..bitter and resiny too. Quite nice really.
