Nov 17, 2008 2008 vintage. Ruddy red-purple color with a thin layer of tan head that leaves only a ring of lasting foam. Cherries and powerful alcohol aroma over a heavy syrupy body. Some brown sugar maltiness, caramel, bready and dark fruits. Alcohol not as apparent as the nose, then a slight hoppiness hidden under the sweet malt finish.

May 9, 2009 when it comes to the strongly malt based beers, i always prefer crunchy toffee malt character to sticky sweet sludge. so often i encounter the latter, but not tonite. this beer is wildly dark for its style, and contains none of the overt sweetness that often leads me away from a brew. just like double dog, flying dog has again created a beer that is so wildly drinkable considering its ABV it should be illegal -- its certainly dangerous.

Aug 18, 2009 Pours a clear dark copper/amber with a thin tight off-white head. Bourbon, licorice, toffee, and malt aroma. Taste is strong dark fruit, toffee, sweet malt, and light hops. This has a smooth and creamy mouthfeel with light carbonation and light hop bitterness. There is a low alcohol warmth on the finish. A good take on an English-style Barleywine.

Sep 27, 2008 12 oz. bottles sold in a 4-pPack. Poured like a hazy ice tea, not much head to speak of. Dark fruit, plumy with almost a hint of honey. Satisfying, warming alcohol finish.

Nov 21, 2008 355ml bottle. pours with a decent head for a barley wine then dies down to a millimeter lacing is not to shabby either. smells like malty caramelly goodness, taste is pretty full bodied but quite smooth and the alcohol is well hidden. bitterness kind of hides in the background?
