Sep 27, 2009 Had this brew at GABF on 9/24/09. Color is a muddy brown with light carbonation and small head. Aroma is rich with a little oak coming out. This is a full bodied brew with a rich feel and a finish of raisins and plums with oak and vanilla on the end. Overall its a very good Barley Wine.

Sep 27, 2009 Draft at the Firestone Walker booth GABF. Nose of bourbon, prunes, toffee, and oaky vanilla notes. Black with a small cinnamon tan head. Flavor is bourbon and oak with dark fruits and caramel. Reminds me of FW 10 in some ways.

Aug 24, 2009 On tap at the Firestone Walker Taproom. Dark brown in color. Nose is dominated by sharp alcohol and solvent. It stings the nostrils. Taste is the same. Can’t focus on anything besides the overbearing alcohol. Feels like drinking rubbing alcohol. Couldn’t drink it.

Aug 9, 2009 On tap at Blue Palms. Pours a deep brown body and a small tan ring. Aroma of wood, raisin, toffee and bourbon. Kind of a light aroma. Taste, dark fruits, vanilla, light oxidation. A bit of bourbon in the back. Well hidden alcohol. Viscous mouth, with light carbonation. Nice.

Jun 19, 2009 6/18/09 on draft at the Nhc. Aroma is all plum flavored alcohol without any harshness and lots of caramel. Appearance is hazy dark brown with a medium maintained cream colored head. Flavor is more rich syrupy alcohol with no bittering and light roast. Mouthfeel is full bodied with almost no carb texture; warming. Overall, just for sipping but not overwhelming enough to stop you from sipping quickly.
