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).

12 oz bottle: Aroma is big on malt, caramel, hard candy, dark fruit like plum, and somewhat of a hop backing. Pours a very dark muddy red/amber with a thick tan head that lingers. Taste is really sweet, again with the plum, malt coming through, caramel candy, and a light nuttiness. Palate is heavy on the tongue with an aftertaste of a lingering caramel malt flavor. Overall, Decent Barleywine I think I’m drinking this a little too young but decent all around. Cheers!

12 oz. bottles sold in a 4-pPack. Poured like a hazy ice tea, not much head to speak of. Dark fruit, plumy with almost a hint of honey. Satisfying, warming alcohol finish.

2008 Bottle. Near opaque dark orangebrown pour with almost no tan head. Aroma is very boozy, dark rum-soaked fruit. Alcohol becomes more pronounced in the flavor I’d be happy to cellar this for a few years and see how it improves.

Bottle. Poured amber with a creamy off-white head that left light lacing. Aromas of dark fruits, cherry, and apple backed with some maltiness . The flavor finds raisins, prune, cherry, and a chocolate background. Full body. Very enjoyable.

12 oz bottle. Pours a darker golden amber color. Aroma of warm alcohol, malts, and hops. Flavor is a malty, citrus beverage that is relatively smooth for such a high alcohol content beer. Finish is sweet.
