Mar 9, 2009 Pours dark caramel color with minimal tan head. Aromas of molasses, brown sugar and dark fruits. Very sweet malty flavor with molasses and dark fruits. Alcohol is slightly noticeable. Medium body with minimal carbonation and a syrupy mouthfeel.

Mar 8, 2009 Very good example of a barley wine. Did not detect the licorice suggested by the labeling, thank goodness. Nicely sweet. Last few room-termperature sips tasted like candy.

Mar 3, 2009 2006 bottle. Nice looking ruby color with a smallish head. Aroma is quite sweet with lots of candy, sugars, oranges, cherries, and light hops. Flavor has lots of sweet & dark fruits, darker cane sugar, and some light alcohol. It works, but still mediocre at best (and I’m guessing better at this point than fresh). Overall just an OK Barleywine.

Mar 2, 2009 Pours deep amber with an adequate head and lacing, strong aromas of various malts and some licorice, good flavor, and body to this beer as a barleywine should be, a bit sweet at this point in it’s young life, alcohol bomb at 10.2%

Mar 1, 2009 Pours a deep ruby red with a small head reminiscent of the foam on a straight espresso. Aroma is apples, alcohol, some hops, and some licorice. Flavor really follows suit with Apples, cherries, brandy, some licorice and a nice little hoppy zing to round it off. I neither love nor dislike this beer. It’s all-right.

Feb 28, 2009 Bottle@Home. Aroma of molasses, orange, floral, fruity, hoppy, raisin. Orange/brown colour, small beige head, good lace. Very sweet, very bitter, hoppy, very malty, raisin, chestnuts. Flat, sticky and dry in the finish. Flavourful, just a bit too sweet and off balance in the fruitiness.
