Jun 12, 2008 Red-brown beer, full of small UFO’s with an amber-cream head, leaving impressive lacerings. Very fruity, sweet-grainy & alcohol nose. Fruit on alcohol, like oranges or so in a real sangria , but more syrupy. Very rich fruity-cake taste, alcohol (with its additional sweetness) obvious. Wry prunes, discreet but present hops. Old, madeirisated winerest. Thick, alcoholwarming, rich voluptuous MF. Excellent, if not blasting B.W. Among the best of Flying Dog.

Jun 9, 2008 Interesting beer. An almost syrup like taste loaded with complexity - caramel, toffee, maple, currants. aroma is almost all malt and it really seems to be underhopped for the style but I guess I like it, many barley wines are so hopped that you can’t taste the complexities in the flavor profile as well as you can this one.

Jun 5, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours a dark copper in color with brown head. Aroma is sweet and malty. Taste malt, molasses and licorice (which is not my favor taste) with dry finish.

Jun 5, 2008 Bottle--vintage 2007. Dark red pour with thin tan head. Sugary, caramel aroma with slight hop notes. Solid maltiness with toffee flavor. Alcohol adds to aroma about mid-glass. Not overpowering but slight bitterness at finish. Good barleywine style from Flying Dog.

Jun 2, 2008 Bottle. Aroma of powerful hops and caramel in a Stone-like mix, with berry, toffee, grapefruit, and a whiff of alcohol. Plum and molasses. Essentially opaque brown pour with a light brown head. Bitingly hoppy taste, very sweet and boozy with light fumes, not quite cloying. Big caramel and toffee really set in and entrench themselves around the teeth. Big grape and plum with molasses. Woody, oaky notes, and an actual semblance of balance between the heavy, syrupy crystal malt and the hops. Full body and a kick in the teeth. Tongue-numbing. Dry, nearly-nutty aftertaste. Better than expected - not fit for the top shelf, but still a pretty good dessert BW.
