Commercial Description:
Big malty flavors, including licorice and chocolate, are balanced with a moderate hop profile. Brewed with copious amounts of prized malts and flaked oats, the Barley Wine is so strong that it has to be aged for several months before we can bottle it. Like a fine wine, it will continue to improve with age up to 2 years after bottling (If kept cool).

Bottled: Intensive nose, malty, molasse, some fruit and sugar with alcohol. In the end a remarkable fruity aroma hop note. Brown to red color with a small white head. Flavor is malty, medium sweet with some fruity notes. Quite alcoholic, rum plums and a quite intensive bitterness. Dry, bitter finish, roasted malt and bitter hops. Intensive, too alcoholic and a bit unbalanced. Regardless a good beer.

Brown pour with a decent head. kind of a medicinal aroma with a touch of malt. The flavor is licorice and malt in the front then finishes with a slight vanilla, coconut and licorice again. Not bad the alcohol comes out a touch and it slightly bitter. not bad.

Bouteille de 12 oz, vieille d’environ 1 an. Arômes d’alcool, de caramel et de fruits rouges. Robe rouge foncée et claire, faible effervescence. Moyennement ronde en bouche, la bière présente des notes de caramel et de whisky, puis un houblon résineux se manifeste. Finale d’alcool. Intéressant.

Sample at the tasting at From the Vine on 1.30.09. Pours light brown with a medium off-white head. Malty caramel aroma with lots of candy sweetness. Malty caramel flavor with a ton of sugar, some booze and a faint taste of hops.

Bottle pours a muddy brown color with little to no head. Aroma of sweet molasses, pine resin, and burnt sugar. Flavor is sweet and malty but there is a decent hop presence. Some bittnerness in the finish with a slightly syrupy mouthfeel. The 10.2% alcohol is fairly well pronounced.

Dark brown almost black with an average head. Aromas of molasses, brown sugar, and sweet malts. Slightly hoppy, strong in alcohol, strong sweet malty flavor with some oak, caramel, and molasses.

light brown colour, has a bit of a sweet malt aroma, okay body, has a sweet molasses taste with a hint of licorice, gives a bit of a hop element at the end.
