Nose is standard barleywine/old ale.....toffee, scotch, vanilla, wood, earthy and citrus hops......very tasty. Body is medium, carbonation is light. A very good Old Ale. I wish i had a few more botles.

Jan 13, 2008 Superb balance. Oak is seamlessly integrated. Amazingly creamy on the palate, I wish I could give it a 6. This is a super beer. My breath smells delicious after I drink this beer. I don’t even know what that means, but this stuff is good.

Dec 31, 2007 Bottle courtesy of jayg (thanks!). Poured a medium brown shade with some off-white head. Aroma was very sweet, full of caramel, toffee, and maybe some raisins or figs. Taste is mostly the same; very sweet on the tongue with the toffee taste in the forefront. Some dark fruit comes out slightly. Pretty sticky mouthfeel.

Dec 31, 2007 Bottle. Pours a medium amber with light brown head. Aroma was sweet and malty. The flavor was also very sweet and I detected a hint of chocolate and maybe a little booziness as well. Overall an enjoyable beer that I would drink again if I was in a sweet mood.
