Jul 27, 2005 Big malty flavors, including licorice and chocolate, are balanced with a moderate hop profile. a little on the bitter side.

Oct 26, 2002 My bottle too is highly carbonated, but once it settles down it leaves a silky gem. Smooth deep malt flavor, bit of anise and liquorice. Hops are really nice in the background, but a nice counterpoint to the sweet maltiness. Definitley the best I’ve had from this brewery.

Jan 21, 2008 12oz - Aroma is caramel malt, raisin, plum and alcohol. Pours dark brown with small head and decent lacing. Taste is a sweeter than expected with a lot of caramel and toffee. Palate is sticky and hot with alcohol. Not bad fresh and maybe a little time for the burn to fade will be beneficial..

Jan 31, 2009 Sample at the tasting at From the Vine on 1.30.09. Pours light brown with a medium off-white head. Malty caramel aroma with lots of candy sweetness. Malty caramel flavor with a ton of sugar, some booze and a faint taste of hops.

Oct 18, 2002 Updated: Jan 20, 2003The beer poured with a large head. The one I had immediately over flowed the bottle after I opened it. It had a sweet, fruity taste. Mild amount of bite (hops) on the finish. I wouldn't mind having another one, but I don't think I'd rush out to get one.

Apr 7, 2006 Definitely not my favorite style. Barley wines always have too much alcohol in the nose and too much alcohol in the flavor, and this one is no exception. Some redemption in the darker hints of sweet toffee and sweet dried fruit and maybe a hint of chocolate plus enough hops to salvage something.
