Aug 2, 2008 Not a big barley wine fan aymore but this one I could drink regularily. Really not a negative thing to say about this one other than it’s way to drinkable at 10%. I had the bomber polished off in no time.

Jul 31, 2008 POured a nice hazy orange color with an off white head. Aroma was thick malts, lots of hops and a bit grassy. Flavor is also pretty hoppy, overshadowing the maltiness and brown sugar. Pretty good stuff.

Jul 28, 2008 Bottle from 1_2many. Dark amber in color with a decent head. Aroma is caramel and hops. Flavor is a pretty nice bitter sweet, with sweet malt and fairly strong hops. Something just seems lacking from this one though. Not as complex as I was hoping for.

Jul 28, 2008 Bottle. Not very impressive. Just an average barley wine really. Cloudy brown with a decent head. Aroma of mostly malt and some hops. Flavor is sweet with a mild bitterness at the end. Drinkable but definitely low on my barley wine list.

Jul 27, 2008 (22ox bottle from Whip-In on July 27, 2008) Great foamy head on top of a dark, clear amber colored brew. Excellent, solid lacing. Aroma is hoppy, sweet with an undercurrent of sourness. Flavor of caramel, strong but not overpowering hops, and an (at first) indistinguishable sweetness thanks to the toffee. What I love about this is how hoppy it is, but how it’s not overdone. Easy to drink.. splendidly sweet!

Deep ruby red. Small off-white head.
Sweet and malty, vinous aroma.

Very sweet and malty flavour with a pretty distinct bitterness.

Jul 26, 2008 Poured from tap a hazy orange with an off-white. Aroma was herbal perfume somewhat like absinthe or juniper. Flavor had licorice, absinthe, juniper, citrus, wood, and ended with a nutty toffee. Palate has a big punch of warm alcohol with a big malt mouthfeel - chewy almost. I had this one after an imp stout so my palate may have been off, but it was not my favorite BW. It seems that the flavors needed some mellowing and time to meld. I’m sure I’ll try it again and re-rate in the future.
