Nov 17, 2008 2008 vintage. Ruddy red-purple color with a thin layer of tan head that leaves only a ring of lasting foam. Cherries and powerful alcohol aroma over a heavy syrupy body. Some brown sugar maltiness, caramel, bready and dark fruits. Alcohol not as apparent as the nose, then a slight hoppiness hidden under the sweet malt finish.

May 22, 2009 12oz bottle from 2007, tasting pretty fine right now. Pale copper pour with a nice head and carbonation. The aroma is sharply hoppy, even with some age, with a malt mildness that makes this a pretty inviting BW. Taste is still pretty hot initially, which is a mild disappointment, but the creamy body and the caramel flavors tend to balance it out. Pretty good.

Jun 28, 2005 This is one of the most smooth tasting Barleywine I ever had, The head of the beer is mininmal, the smells of raisns, fig with choclate slimple give to the taste of chocalte and and carmel.
While the Alcohol % is strong it doesnt over-power the beer.
Enjoy on those cold nights by the fire.

Feb 5, 2009 Bottled: Intensive nose, malty, molasse, some fruit and sugar with alcohol. In the end a remarkable fruity aroma hop note. Brown to red color with a small white head. Flavor is malty, medium sweet with some fruity notes. Quite alcoholic, rum plums and a quite intensive bitterness. Dry, bitter finish, roasted malt and bitter hops. Intensive, too alcoholic and a bit unbalanced. Regardless a good beer.

Oct 14, 2005 Pours dark reddish brown with smallish off-white head. Aroma is caramel, dark fruit and hops. Flavor is very sweet, quite strong, some alcohol. Bananas, dark fruit, toffee, caramel. Very warming alcohol finish. Nice brew, but alittle too sweet. Would do well with a couple of years to mellow.
