Dec 12, 2008 Bottle vintage 07BB. Pours hazy and slightly orange, but mostly brown. I know this presents itself as more malt than hop, but I detect a pretty decent citrusy hop punch on top of caramel malts, wood and dark cherries. possesses the expected viscous body.

Dec 12, 2008 Bottle: Pours an amber brownish color with a thin tan head. Smells like a hoppy, doughy sweetness but surprises you with a unigue well blended brew. It will really warm you up quickly.

Dec 9, 2008 Pours a clear, rusty brown with a minimal tan head. Alcoholic aroma of malts and light caramel sweetness. Very sweet candied cherry flavor at first but a hard finish with some bitterness and dry alcohol steals the show. Allow it to warm and a fuller body shows up.

Dec 9, 2008 Pours brown with minimal tan head. Nice caramel, sugar, and dried cherry aroma. Flavor is a lot more caramel, with a bit of roastiness and some vinous notes. Some rotting fruit in there as well, and the alcohol is a touch too high. Other than that it is a very good barley wine.

Dec 7, 2008 0.355 l bottle. Amber color with small head. Sweet seductive liquer like aroma with almonds, honey melon, caramel, dark sugar, raisins, berries and warming alcohol. Sweet, toffeish, raisiny and caramelly flavor with almonds, toasted malt, nuts, cherry, honey and a hint of sharp alcohol. Chewy mouthfeel. Great aroma and pretty good flavor too. Could be softer and more drinkable.

Dec 4, 2008 Bottle.
Lots of dark fruit and caramel in the aroma. Fruity, but with plenty of hops. The alcohol strength drags it down a bit, it is too alcoholic.
