Aug 26, 2009 bottle: reddish brown.small head, but no staying power. Arouma is dark malty strong alcohol. Taste is pruny and a bit salty, buttery, sweet and hugely alcoholic. Light hops it almost tastes like bourbon. Nice... first time trying the style so I don’t know where it compares.

Aug 25, 2009 A very strong barley wine better left to age a bit to take off the alcohol kick a bit. Solid BW, but not my favorite.

Aug 24, 2009 12 oz bottle from Premier Wines. Pours a murky brown with slight reddishness and tiny white head. Aroma of caramel malt, fruits and readily apparent alcohol. Sweet, fruity flavour with hint of chocolate. Warm alcohol finish; smooth mouthfeel. Solid.

Aug 23, 2009 12 fl oz bottle. Couldn,t find a bottling date but best before was 15/04/2010. Poured a mid brown/dark red( or a mix of!?) with a small head. The aroma was predominately sugar and malt. \the alcoholic strength was very evident from the cloying sweetness in the mouth which, for me, tended to mask any other flavours although I could detect cloves & rasinns. OveralI I was rather disappointed with this ’barley wine’ style ale. My experience of US beers has normally been excellent/outstanding and perhaps I was expecting rather too much in this case. Try it by all means.

Aug 22, 2009 Bottle. Pours a muddled, light brown body with a little off-white head. Smells of dark sugars and tart fruits. A flavor of sweet malts with little hop profile, but the alcohol is very present. Thick, yet smooth texture. Not my favorite in the Canis Major series and certainly not the best barley wine.

Aug 20, 2009 Bottled 355ml. Appearance: Hazy dark ruby with a small light beige head. The aroma is mainly of molasses, a huge amount of sour apples, acetone, wax, marzipan and raisin. Malt accentuated. Flavor and palate: Sweet malty taste. Very low bitterness. Alcoholic. Buttery. Mediocre malty finish which is reminiscent of raisin. Overall impression: A very poor barley wine.

Aug 18, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours a hazy brown color. Aroma of sweet roasted malts. Flavor is a little bland compared to the aroma. Still pretty damn good beer.
