Red in colour. Sweet flavours
Kind of average, not bad but not exciting either...

Oct 23, 2008 Pours red with minimal head. Aroma is malty, with a bit of lager green to it. Flavor isn’t as hoppy as I had hoped for, more malty and Carmel... overall not a bad beer, but I had this right after the stone Guardian... this one pales in comparison.

Oct 22, 2008 Pours a two finger cream head that fades slowly, leaving a good lace. Deep mahogany color. Light carbonation and medium-heavy bodied. Raisin nose. Flavor is sweet malty but balanced with hops. Some bitterness at finish. High ABV is hidden. More flavor as it warms up. $1.67 for a 12oz bottle from Capitol Convenience (now Barb’s Beer Emporium) Concord, NH.

Oct 21, 2008 Pours dark malty brown with almost no head. Very malty aroma with a hint dried fruit, brown sugar, and caramel malt . Taste is smooth and malty with just a hint of roasted malt and maybe a little bit of the hops. The malt hides some of the hops, but you get a little of the hop bitterness in the finish. Definitely a very malt driven barley wine and will be interesting with some aging.

Oct 19, 2008 Bottle from De Bierkoning, @ home. Cloudy reddish brown colour, creamy diminishing off-white head. Aroma of alcohol and lots of dark fruits. Flavour is chocolate, caramel, dark fruits, malts and alcohol. Alcoholic and sweet finish. Not as fullbodied as expected, but a nice sipper nevertheless.

Oct 19, 2008 Poured a reddish brown color with an off white head. Aroma was dark fruits, some spices, lots of maltiness, and the alcohol is definately there as well. Flavor was extremely sweet, notes of fruits and some caramel/light chocolate notes, not too much bitterness, but a really strong alcohol warming in the finish.
