Feb 7, 2009 Seems like an unexceptional barley wine. But barley wine is a great style so this is a nice beer. The hop-malt balance is skewed toward the hop, which are quite bitter. I would prefer more going on in the malt.

Jan 4, 2009 bottle - Pours murky dark copper with a very thin head. It has a light malt aroma. The flavor is well hopped and it’s good hops, but I thought the malt character was lacking and the palate on the thin side. Not that it’s bad, but I hope for more complexity and robustness in a barley wine. I wonder if the recipe has changed as some of the reviews have a very different impression.

Dec 21, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours a hazy deep amber color with a small fine beige head with thin lacing. The aroma is caramel malt, fruity, with a dose of citrus and pine hops. The flavor is similar with the caramel malt and fruits at the beginning and a hoppy bitterness coming through in the finish. My main problem was how thin this was. It seemed to be more like a cask ale than a barleywine weighing in at 10 percent. Dont get me wrong, it is not a bad beer. I just found myself wanting more.
