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).

Opaque mahogany pour with a ruby highlight and a small off-white head. Lots of sweet roasted malt aroma with some plum, grapefruit, and raisin. Licorice, cocoa and roasted malts definitely dominate the flavor with notes of molasses, orange peel and fig with a kick of alcohol at the end. Creamy medium body with a good dose of carbonation. Decent complexity but it just doesn’t blend quite as nicely as a good barley wine should.

Bottle poured to glass. Roasted malt aroma and citrusy hops to balance it. Deep redish/brown hue with an average white head. Heavily roasted Malt flavor and moderatly hopped to balcnce. Fairly lond after taste to follow. Turns slightly acidic at the finish.

Bottle at my new home in London:) Aroma is big rich sweet malt, mollasses character and some berry character. Taste is similar, big and super malty, like still alright an does the job, but a bit too rich and malty to be great.

It’s barley wine and not available here that much so every new one I can taste is bound to get a positive rating. Nothing earth shattering but still a nice sweet barley wine, missing the crucial bite to make this much more than an above average barley wine in my books.

[1264-20080405] 12floz bottle. Roasted raisin syrup aroma with burnt grainy malt booze. Hazy, dark red brown body with a medium-lasting creamy off-white head and lots of stagnant floaties. Burnt grain malt flavour with sweet toasted yeast, hints of coffee, and a bit of medium boozy wood notes. Medium-full body. Interesting, nice balance.

A malty, grainy barleywine with a very fine flavour of malt, some orange hop notes and some fruit. Very balanced bitterness and very much a wine.

Solid malt presence backed up with bitter biting hops. Very good example of the style, well executed. Not overly harsh, but nice and powerful.

Dark amber color with minimal off-white head. Smells like malt and chocolate. The description says hops, I would say that they are hidden by the sweetness, almost tastes sugary. Overall its good, not too exciting.
