Apr 7, 2002 Updated: Sep 24, 2003Deep dark ruby red. Pretty nice head and lace. Nose of malt, cherry coke and port. Nice thick body, rather one dimensional with the malt, sweet (maybe too much) and smooth with decent hopping. Not bad. Needs work though. Update: After year in cellar, this is much nicer.

Sep 1, 2007 Updated: Feb 17, 20082008-02-08, bottle at Plan B, Copenhagen, vintage 2007, 6-4-8-4-15=37
Dark brown color with red shades; thick head. Strong aroma of caramel, some cookies, alcohol too. Full bodied, with a round mouthfeel; it has a good but monodimensional sweet caramel flavor, loads of it, and the alcohol really warms the mouth as few other beers. The bitterness is balanced. Powerful, good, but no thrills.

Dark brown color; thick head. Creamy aroma, sweet, with some caramel and a touch of wood, maybe very light vanilla. Thick body, a bit oily texture, with a strong caramel flavor, nutty, and a reasonably strong bitterness at the end, when also the alcohol starts burning. Powerful but not special.

Oct 12, 2003 have to say i'm very surprised by this one. nose is full of malts and brown sugar and caramel. hops are really only mildly perceptible. from an otherwise ordinary brewer, this is a very tasty and complex beer...notes of maple syrup, coffee and dark chocolate in the finish.

Feb 26, 2006 12 oz. bottle, 2005 vintage. Hazy mahogony colour with a thin mostly diminishing frothy off-white head. Fruity and caramel malt and grapefruit and pine hop aroma. Toffee, dark fruit, lightly rummy, some bubblegum flavours with a grapefruit and light alcohol bitter finish. Full bodied, warming but smooth and quite easy drinking for 10.5% abv.

Dec 4, 2003 Bottled. Very dark reddish brown. Toffee nose. Grapefruity hops takes over from there. Very sweet with big crystal malt character. More toffee in a finish with less bitterness than common in US barleywines. Ina barleywine tasting session it wouldn't stand out much, but omhper likes barley wines, and this is good beer.

Jan 2, 2008 Aroma is caramel sweet, hops & alcohol. A decent BW but a bit too much residual sweetness is on the cloying side. I think this one needs more cellar time.

Aug 18, 2007 Bottle. Dark mahogony beer with a tan head. Caramel malt aroma with some vanilla. Caramel malt, berry fruitiness, and alcohol flavor that lingers. Medium body. Alcohol warms. Hops present and in background. Not a beer everyone will like.
