| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 5, 2004 99 vintage, Before it got the Horndog title i guess ? Small, brown, large bubbled head that fades into a thin ring and a light film on top of this clear chestnut colored brew. Malty, fruity nose with hints of black licorice and some very subdued citrus notes as well. Med/full body, creamy texture. Big malt flavor, dark fruits, raisins, hints of chocolate, caramel, a bit musty and a dab of alcohol thrown in also. Medium sweet, fruity finish. Has seemed to hold up fairly well. blipp (1669), Newark, New Jersey, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 3, 2009 2006 bottle. Nice looking ruby color with a smallish head. Aroma is quite sweet with lots of candy, sugars, oranges, cherries, and light hops. Flavor has lots of sweet & dark fruits, darker cane sugar, and some light alcohol. It works, but still mediocre at best (and I’m guessing better at this point than fresh). Overall just an OK Barleywine. hayduke (1654), Eureka, California, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 8, 2008 From a 12 oz bottle this poured a very clear and garnet color with a rich and foamy tan head that lasted a long time and left big lacing rings. Nose of fruit and caramel malts. Flavor is complex with lots of fruit and there is a nice bitter finish. Would like to see this aged, so will put the remaining bottle in the back of the beer cellar and try to remember to pull it out next spring. Butters (1650), Virginia, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Sep 22, 2008 2008 Bottle. Near opaque dark orangebrown pour with almost no tan head. Aroma is very boozy, dark rum-soaked fruit. Alcohol becomes more pronounced in the flavor I’d be happy to cellar this for a few years and see how it improves.
