Feb 8, 2008 Bottle.[Tasting session @ yespr, thanks for a great evening Jesper] Average thick beige and creamy head that mostly diminished. Fair display of lacework. Mahogany colour. Nice and complex aroma of bread, grain, caramel and lots of dried fruit and vinous feel over this beer. Almost a light sweet chocolate at the very end. Very full bodied with a soft carbonation and thick and light alcoholic texture. Moderated to heavy sweet flavour with light notes of bitterness. Lingering malty sweet finish. Nice and smooth Barley Wine.

Oct 13, 2009 Bottle. Pours amber with a lasting creamy beige head. The nose is sweet caramel malt, licorice and toffee. The flavour is sweet caramel malt, toffee, licorice and berry fruitiness. Nice balance and has a pleasant warmth from the alcohol. Easy to drink and savour. Enjoyed this barley wine a lot more than the last few brands I’ve had over the months. I’ll store a bottle to see if it improves more over time. It’s great as it is though!

Mar 14, 2008 I had this beer on tap at the brewery in Frederick and was very satisfied. The aroma was big and pleasant, with a lot of malt scents, including roasty caramel, chocolate, and coffee, with some hop balance too. A nice, rich and sweet taste with a subtle bitter-sour profile at the finish. It had a thick, syrupy consistency, and good cling, with less carbonation than normal. Overall a very good beer that contains it’s high alcohol content quite well.

Apr 9, 2008 12 ounce bottle- poured a dark caramel brown, clear, with a moderate beige head that dissipated too quickly. Aroma was all caramel and smoke. Caramel and dark fruit taste immediately filled the mouth. Very smooth, very enjoyable. The alcohol content caught me by surprise. All in all, an excellent brew.

Dec 25, 2009 12 oz. bottle from Princeton’s. Dark, chocolate brown pour. Big foamy white head. Aroma is sweet and very boozy and so is the flavor. Flavor is also malty witha bit of a syrupy mouth feel. Finish is a boozy linger on your tongue that hangs around for a bit.
