Feb 19, 2008 Apr. 2007 - Dark pour, no head or lacing. A sour fruity aroma which was not pleasant. Sickly sweet malty sugary, cherry-like flavor. Very thin bodied, yet not smooth. Pretty bad.

Jun 8, 2005 doesn’t really taste like a barley wine. it’s aromatic and flavorful, but not your typical barley wine.

Jul 16, 2003 I drink, therefore I am, a Horn Dog. -Unlike many of the raters I actually enjoyed this beer. It is sweet, acidic, murky, smoky, chocolaty, alcoholic, woody, ha, a Horn Dog with a woody presence, funny, ha! Ok, sorry, that was totally perverted and uncalled for. - But really, this beer is very heavily malted with a fruity, fig, apricot flavor and nose. Overall a very nice strong Barley Wine, I recommend it.

May 11, 2005 poured dark brown with a wispy tan head that bleed away quickly. nose of strong fig and hops. a thick palatal feel with sweet malty flavor and vivacious hops in foreground. still a bit young and needs to lie. some slight cloying flavors. a couple of years could do wonders.

Oct 6, 2005 12 oz. bottle. Pours a dark reddish brown with a fine, well maintained head. Nose of malt and alcohol. Thick, almost cloying mouthfeel with predominate carmel flavor. Some hops bitterness in the finish with little hop aroma or flavor. Not a bad barlleywine, but I’’ve had much better.

Sep 5, 2008 2007 Vintage. Bottle courtesy of kmweaver. Thanks for this nice bonus, Ken. Pours a hazy mahogany with a creamy light tan head and sticky cascading lace. The nose is of slightly boozy fermenting plums, raisins, brown sugar and light spicy hops. Medium-bodied and creamy-slick with a dry "warm" finish. The flavor is fairly alcohol-forward with solid fruity notes that follow the nose, finishing with a dry, moderately spicy hopped finish. This bottle might have benefited from a bit more aging. It’s not a bad beer, but it isn’t an especially inspired barley wine either.
