Feb 24, 2009 Bottle. Pours a deep oxblood with a one finger tan head that leaves great lacing. The nose is fruit and malt. The taste is brown sugar, caramel and sweet dark fruits with some spiked bready yeast in the finish. Medium creamy body. Pretty decent BW.

Feb 22, 2009 (35.5cl bottle) Hazy, reddish brown colour with a beige medium-sized foamy head. Sweet and toast-malty aroma with a raisin-fruity touch, lighter notes of caramel and aromatic, spicy hops. Sweet flavour with a tinge of bitterness, full bodied with a calm carbonation. Hearty toasty malty and subtle zesty fruity taste with notes of caramel. Sweet and slightly bitter and toasted finish with a delicate hops character and a present alcohol. Solid and strong but not necessarily an outspoken highlight of its style (22.II.09).

Feb 19, 2009 Bottle. Pours a. deep dark amber, almost a brown color. Aroma is toffee and sweet malty. Taste is a little boozy, a good barley wine though.

Feb 16, 2009 7oz bottle. $13.99 Mix Pack sampler from Julio’s Liquors. This was an OK beer but definitely not one of the better barley wines I have had. Somethng seemed lacking, not quite sure what. The supposed licorice taste was not very pronounced. Not bad but wil go with something else next time I’m hankering for a barley wine.

Feb 15, 2009 Updated: Sep 22, 2009Fairly standard issue here. Ruby red in colour with tinges of brown. No head (as expected). Nose shows rich malts and fruitcake, as well as some cooked fruits and alcohol. Palate weight is a littleon the light side for a 10%+ beer. More rich sweet malt and fruitcake and maybe some harder licorice and bitterness to finish. A bit clunky through the palate. Can’t see this getting much better. (Nov 2008 bottling)

Feb 13, 2009 Dark brown colour, off-white head. Aroma had caramel, molasses and spices. Flavour of toasted malts, dark fruits, and licorice. Sweet finish, alcohol well noticable.

Feb 11, 2009 Poured a dark brown/red with a smaller off-white head. Aroma is strong and of molasses, fruit, hops, and wheat. Taste is slightly bitter. Licorice, and fruit up front. Finish is bitter and mainly of alcohol. Some vanilla creamy taste as well. Aftertaste is mostly alcohol. Some pretty interesting flavors, but the alcohol taste holds it back.
