Apr 17, 2008 BLAH! Terrible barley wine. While I am not big on the style to begin with, this is terrible. Very metallic and stale aroma of dark malt. Pour was a murky dark brown with a one finger off white head. Taste was strong dark malt with hints of licorice and metal. Imagine putting a good barley wine in a glass, dropping 10 pennies in it and letting it sit for a few days. That’s what this is.

Apr 16, 2008 Wow, thisone could be my new barley for speeches. Not better than anchor old foghorn, but for the people it’s great. Sweetness is comfortable and the alcohol is nice bitter and soft. Heavy nose of berries and dried fruits. Warming and long lasting.

Apr 14, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours a syrupy, cloudy, and muddy orange with almost no head. Aroma is sweet, with a strong note of anise alongside hints of syrupy hops, vanilla, tobacco, and spices. Taste is medium-full, with a sweet almost candy-like hops flavor opening up into a more traditional finish of roasted malt, spices, and caramel. An amazingly drinkable barleywine, but lacking in the style’s usual depth.

Apr 14, 2008 Deep amber in color with a wispy white head that dissipates quickly. The aroma has strong mineral notes punctuated by that of pineapple, butterscotch, and coconut.
The actual flavor is remarkably intense with sweet, toasty notes giving way to a long, slightly bitter finish smacking of bittersweet chocolate, tart apple, and toasted malt.
Have for dessert along a slice of peach pie and vanilla bean ice cream.

Apr 13, 2008 Nice, dark carmel color with beige head. Aroma is sweet malt with a little alcohol, reminds me of a gel that we used to be able to buy as kids 35 years ago and blow hard sided balloons out of with a hint of fake pineapple candy. Good fruit and brown sugar flavor that does seem to be a carbonated wine at times. Worth another taste sometime.

Apr 11, 2008 A different taste from most barleywines, no alcohol burn in the after taste. I like this one it was a good overall barleywine, very complex but different.

Apr 9, 2008 12 ounce bottle- poured a dark caramel brown, clear, with a moderate beige head that dissipated too quickly. Aroma was all caramel and smoke. Caramel and dark fruit taste immediately filled the mouth. Very smooth, very enjoyable. The alcohol content caught me by surprise. All in all, an excellent brew.
