Nov 30, 2008 12 oz. Cloudy orangy color, with a white head. Very sweet smell... sugary. Licorice flavor is definitely there, along with a figgy, or raisin hint. Alcohol was definitely present. Not bad at all.

Nov 30, 2008 Reddish brown with a nice head after a hard pour. Aroma is very wine like. Flavor is sweet with a bit of bitterness in the background. Nice and smooth despite the alcohol content.

Nov 28, 2008 2007 vintage, served in a Duvel tulip. Dark garnet body topped by a thin off-white head. Smells of toffee, tea, caramel, alcohol, and a touch of chocolate. Flavors of tea, grass, and toffee, there is some rancid quality to it as well. Barely noticeable but not pleasant. Somewhat dry finish for a barley wine. Has some alcohol burn but not too much. It is alright but nothing I am going to be jonesing to have again.

Nov 27, 2008 Not exactly clear, browny red body with thin head. Some dried fruits in the smell as well as the alcohol, and the taste is a lot like it smells. Didn’t exactly go for this beer, couldn’t really fault it though didn’t really turn me on as I was hoping.

Nov 21, 2008 Very hoppy aroma. Intial flavour is overpowered by the taste of the alcohol. Tastes like an APA mixed with cheap vodka Not one, I’d recommend.
