Oct 15, 2008 Cloudy orange-brown pour with a flat white head. Oily and earthy. Pine, grapefruit, wood, and musty malt in the nose. Unbelievably smooth and sweet taste of fresh hops, resin, blood orange and orange peel, cane sugar, and caramel. Great balance with the alcohol taste completely hidden. Loved it.

Oct 10, 2008 Caramel malts, a little nutty and sweet toast too. Malty but not sweet. Some C hops in the aroma as well. Flavor is very similar, and notes actually say bland compared to all of the others I tasted.

Sep 14, 2008 12oz relatively fresh from Holiday Wine Cellar. Pours copper orange with a tan ring. Nose is sweet and fruity and nice. Taste is a sweet and big, but it feels a bit restricted flavorwise, I’m curious how it will get as it warms up. Warmer its still one sided

Aug 18, 2008 Bottle from November 2005. Pours with a large, creamy off-white heead covering a hazy orange body. Good lacing. Aroma has lots of malts, caramel, floral hops, and some grains. Taste is caramel malty with some burnt malts as well. A bit of sherry towards the finish and a slight alcohol burn. Not a very full mouthfeel, actually a bit thin for a barely wine. light bubbles. Not horrible, actual a solid beer, would be nice if it were cheaper, more common and came in six packs (ala SN Bigfoot).

Aug 13, 2008 Pour is amber brown with a creamy head. Aroma is very malty with strong toffee notes. Flavor is slightly burnt but mainly full of toffee and malt. I got a little bit o cocoa and slight dark fruits which finished with some medium bitterness. Pretty good beer. Alcohol is hidden well. Well blended brew. Could actually use a little more alcoholic kick. Good purchase.

Jul 28, 2008 Pours a hazy dark brownish red with head that resembles a very small soapy film. Aroma of brown sugar, fruits, rasins, and caramel with some earthy aromas. Wow this is easy to drink for it’s strength..... flavors of caramel, rasins and other dark fruits, toffee, brown sugar all come out and there is a touch of hop bitterness at the finish. Very english style and not a bad barleywine.
