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).

Bottled. Deep rubyish brown colour with small head. Aroma is sweet malts, alcohol and some fruityness along with it. Flavour is alcohol, dark fruits, sweet malts as well as some fruity hops. Quite wellbalanced, even though the alcohol tends to come through a bit much.

Apr. 2007 - Dark pour, no head or lacing. A sour fruity aroma which was not pleasant. Sickly sweet malty sugary, cherry-like flavor. Very thin bodied, yet not smooth. Pretty bad.

Bottle. Nice-looking rich dark reddish-brown pour, thin persistent khaki head. Aroma is a mix of caramel malts and light floral hops. Lighly carbonated. Mix of sweetness and hops right up front, mild hops linger through the finish. The alcohol isn’t overpowering, but the taste seems kind of mixed up, and it seems to knock this one down a notch.

Pours dark but clear dark red-brown. Smells of sweets. Tastes thick but well balanced; nice mix of malt/spice/alcohol flavors. Maybe better if I waited a year - but I’ll but some away for that too!

Amber to brown beer, no head(poured to cold). Fruity and sweet malty aromas. Fruity, licorice, hoppy and roasted taste with some coffee and chocolate near the finish. Fruity, sweet and bitter, alcoholic finish. Nice barley wine, but i’ve had better ones.
