Commercial Description:
Big malty flavors, including licorice and chocolate, are balanced with a moderate hop profile. Brewed with copious amounts of prized malts and flaked oats, the Barley Wine is so strong that it has to be aged for several months before we can bottle it. Like a fine wine, it will continue to improve with age up to 2 years after bottling (If kept cool).

2005 bottle. Dark amber pour with decent head. Aromas of dark fruit, malt, and licorice. Flavors of the same, plus a little honey. Complex flavor. Hop bitterness is a little low for the style. Definitely in my top tier for Barleywines, with a little more hops it could be great.

Pours deep amber with an adequate head and lacing, strong aromas of various malts and some licorice, good flavor, and body to this beer as a barleywine should be, a bit sweet at this point in it’s young life, alcohol bomb at 10.2%

Bottle Brown with mahogany tints. Aromas of old, old cedar, leather and my grandmother’s old couch (or, davenport, as she used to say). Yummalicious sweet flavors of vanilla, figs and sweet peat. This is a great example of a mellowedout sweet barley wine. Quite delicious.

A very nice barley wine on tap. dark mahogony brown. nice frothy tan head. You can taste the alcohol a little... but what do you expect from a barley wine. Full of flavor, but well balanced. Sweet smooth, a little hops for balance, and notes of roasted coffee.

Bottle thanks to dchmela, thanks again! Aroma of caramel and licorice malt, dark dried fruits, some resin hops and a little alcohol. Dark brown murky hue with a small almost fully diminishing of khaki head that left little lace. Flavor is sweet caramel and raisin malt with a little resin hop bitterness on the finish. Full bodied and oily soft. Alcohol is a little too pronounced throughout. Very nice for a young barley wine. A couple of years and this could be really good.
