Sep 5, 2008 consensus here amongst buds is a very user friendly barley wine. Cant think of a more balanced barley wine than this. Poured with a nice head an plenty a lace. Pleasing rich dark amber color. Fruity bittersweet. Balanced. A tad boozy in the finish. N ’ats it.

Sep 4, 2008 Kind of a let down here. Maybe a good intro Barleywine, but everything is just too muted. I just like big beers, and this isn’t one. Everything you love ina barleywine, but toned way down. Malt backbone, hop profile. Very smooth and drinkable, just not what I want in a BW.

Sep 3, 2008 This is probably my least favorite style, but this is tolerable. Aroma is dark fruit, molasses, caramel and BOOZE. Very smooth malty taste on the tongue with little carbonation. Very dry biting finish. Decent overall for the style.

Aug 31, 2008 Dark brown pour with a thin fizzy tan head. Aroma of alcohol, dark beyond-ripe fruit, and raisins. Flavor is malt, raisin puree and alcohol. Not a good barley wine, in my humble opinion.

Aug 29, 2008 Bottle labeld VINTAGE07BB.
Pours dark brown, and cludy with a thin head and a little bit of lacing. Very malty aroma, smells a little like figs. The alchohol smell is strong. Thick and slightly sticky body. Sweet tasting and malty up front, with hints of fig, rasins, and molasses. There are some citrus tasting hops, but they are very understated in the flavor, though there is some bitterness. Most of the flavor really waits to jump out until the after taste.
