Feb 1, 2008 12oz bottle. A hazy, deep brown pour with a small beige head, light lacing. Great aromas of candied dark fruits (plums, raisins.....ect). A light hop bite was present as well. Flavor was sweet and malty. Finish was thick and syrupy. Overall a pretty good barely wine.

Jun 19, 2007 12 oz bottle from DiCarlo Mundelien vintage 06E? Pours a clear dark brown red. Abundant malty nose, red fruits cookie, hint of alcohol. Cookie/toasted and fruit are the first notes on my tongue fading into chocolate, licorice, and bittering pine in the finish. Definitely what i was in the mood for, and pretty decent.

Oct 12, 2006 Loved the aroma, nice combination of floral, pine, citrus, and malts. Beautiful pour, dark brown, off-white head, nice lacing. Flavor was not all that great though, kind of bland, malty at first, with licorice and alcohol finish. Medium body. Kind of gets your hopes up at first, then disappoints when you finally taste it. Decent, but not my favorite BW.

Sep 29, 2007 This is part of a beer club. Had only one bottle but was decent for the price. Poured great and had a nice finish. Would do again.

Jan 25, 2009 pours a dirty orange, very small white fizzy head
aroma is yeast, bread, citrussy hops, caramel, and slightly cloying sweet alcohol
flavor is more mild than expected, in a good way: the alcohol is fairly apparent, and kind of rummy, but there are bits of toffee and orange peel, some nice bitterness to balance
good medium body keeps the thing from being too chewy
long finish, but its mostly bite from the alcohol

Jul 21, 2007 Dark brown color with a sweet nose that wasn’t over the top considering the style. Strong malt body with a zesty character that I couldn’t identify.

Nov 20, 2007 I think this is a very good example of a malty, European-style barleywine. The aroma is yeasty, fruity, very malty, with a slight hint of raisins and some bread pudding. The flavor is smooth, very silky maltiness with notes of dry, earthy fruit and nuts, some caramel and brown sugar are also detectable, but in balance. I can’t wait to drink the other three! Seek this beer out if you’re a fan of English barleywines.

Sep 21, 2007 12 oz. bottle - ruby red against the light and slightly cloudy; slight tan head and pleasant candy aromas; slightly spicy with the alcohol coming out more in the aftertaste; a decent MW though that doesn’t overpower you like some others
