Aug 14, 2005 Dark brown with a red tinge and thin tan head. Stark alcohol sugar aroma. Syrupy burnt brown sugar essence with a strong tart grape overbite. I’m no barleywine fan, so maybe I’m jaded, but you gotta be in the mood for this potion.

May 21, 2008 (Bottled, 2007 vintage) Slightly hazy, deep ruby red with a smallish, tanned head, and lots of floating yeast. Lots of vinous, slightly sweet malt with dried fruit. Strongly toffee-malty, mildly roasty, very grainy flavor with some vinous berries. Quite full-bodied and thick palate with lowish carbonation. A full and thick barley wine with not too much sweetness, and less hops than expected.

Aug 23, 2007 Bottle says "vintage??" Amber brown with fast disappearing white head. Aroma is sweet sugar, malts, hops, bread & cookies. Sweet spicy warm, sticky & a bit alcohol burning. However alcohol is well hidden in the flavor. Nice lacings. Very well balanced. Complex barley wine & still easy drinkable. Wauw!

Oct 15, 2006 Botlle. Cloudy brown, no head. Sweet caramel, spice, earth, pinecones, heather herbal hops.
Fruity and caramelly body, nut, herbal hops. Feels a bit one-dimensional for some reason. Quite chewy, sticky mouthfeel. Long caramel and berry aftertaste.

Apr 4, 2004 Vintage 2002B... Pours a deep dark ruby color with a small off white head and some lacing. Sweet malty, alcoholic aroma. Taste of sweet fruits (cherry), chewy malt, some alcohol, and a rather thin mouthfeel for a barleywine.

Nov 12, 2004 Deep, dark red color, going on black, with a very thin head. Very strong, but sweet, malt aroma. A little grainy, but malt and raw barley are predominant. Quite sweet. It strikes me as very raw; there is not much protection from the alcohol. It could use some time to settle, but good even right away.
