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).

Bottle. This looks and smells great. Pours a lovely rich copper with a little tan head but the aroma, oh the aroma. Smells like slightly burnt toffee, raisins, butter, creme brulee. The flavour is not as sweet as the nose suggests but this is not a bad thing. There are notes of molasses, iced tea and dried fruits with a slightly salty undertone. Also the alcohol is quite noticable without being aggressive. A very appealing barley wine but not exactly run of the mill.

Good malt flavor. Nice high abv but it’s not overwhelming. Bottle seemed expensive for what it was.

Dull purple color, like that of prune juice. Thick swath of lace up top. Dark iced tea. Looks great. Aroma is sweet raisin, prunes. Alcohol burst. Mild citrus hop accent. Malts are just ever-so-lightly toasted. The taste is a major burst of alcohol. Roasted malts. Thick flavor of sweetish barleywine / Scotch ale flavors. A tad sweet, but harsh in both the malts and the alcohol. A bit leathery, but sweet overall. Dark, sweet fruits dominate. Fizzy and creamy. Thick and chewy. Well-balanced, thick, dark fruits. Lots of alcohol.

7oz bottle, dark amber with a thin off-white head. Sweet, fruity with a mild hop taste. A decent barley wine.

Thin head, but there is lacing. Medium muddy brown color. Boozy and sweet aromas. Super sweet and chockfull of malts. Some hops, but the malts outweigh. Dark fruit all over the place. Sugary and thick.
