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.

Apr 2, 2008 12oz bottle from SBD. Pours a dark caramelly brown color with a thin, izzy, tan head that fades quick and leaves specks of lace. Smells of sweet malts and a good dose of alcohol. Tastes sweet and raisiny and malty. Alcohol flavors as well. Full body, crisp carbonation.

Oct 31, 2009 Courtesy of CUJO @ Village Pourhouse. The truth is this is a slightly below par Barley Wine... but for 10.2 it accomplishes something truly impressive. Tastes are on the lighter side but composed of several elements.. licorice, sweet malts, cherry, earthy ester for sure, and some bright hops poking out. Alcohol was noticeable, and while warming, perhaps made this a bit unbalanced. I needed this to be bigger... TWSS. 3.35
