Mar 14, 2008 I had this beer on tap at the brewery in Frederick and was very satisfied. The aroma was big and pleasant, with a lot of malt scents, including roasty caramel, chocolate, and coffee, with some hop balance too. A nice, rich and sweet taste with a subtle bitter-sour profile at the finish. It had a thick, syrupy consistency, and good cling, with less carbonation than normal. Overall a very good beer that contains it’s high alcohol content quite well.

Mar 12, 2008 3/5/08 at Ginger Man in Texas. 12 oz. bottle. Pours brown with red hues. Nose is little. Caramel, not much of anything. Head is thin and small, rimming white. Taste is malty, caramel and toffee with notes of coffee and a touch of roast, melding into a forced, earthy bitter. Some astingency. Mouthfeel is awesome. Decent, but weird. Kinda spicy.

Mar 10, 2008 Poured a reddish brown color with very little foam. A strong smelling beer, detected sweet malt and also fruity. Taste is a little strong at first due to high ABV. and mellows out through palate and finish. Only my second or maybe third barley wine and this is not as good as SN’s version. A good sipping beer!

Mar 8, 2008 Poured into a snifter. Dark ruby brown, with a miniscule head that soon disappears. Lacing is intermittent and watery. Aroma is sweet caramel malt and a touch of alcohol. Very malty flavor, with mostly caramel as opposed to toffee. Some alcohol soaked dark fruit. Hops are a little too prominent for this English style, and nothing really meshes all that well. Mouthfeel is markedly better than the rest of this beer. Smooth and full, easy to drink, not too boozy.
