Oct 15, 2007 Thanks to Pantanap for sending this to me. 200th rating. Smell is big, rum soaked fruit, alcohol, burnt sugar. Taste is even bigger, brown sugar, raisins, dark fruit, interladen with a beautiful hop boquet, balanced and incredibly complex. The taste just kept going. Hair of the dog continues to impress me. I wish I had more of this. Outstanding.

Oct 8, 2007 Batch 59. Pours a beautiful hazy ruby color into the snifter. There was a two inch head and spider webs of lacing. A small amount of residue floated in the glass. The scent was magnificent, as the bottle open, the aroma filled the room. Hops, hearty malt, barley, syrup and plums. The flavor was strong, coating and wonderful. A mix of raisins, plums, hops, citrus and sweetness coat the palate. To date, the best barley wine I have tasted.

Oct 2, 2007 Aroma of spices and some citrus. Thick, sticky, syrupy, bittersweet taste and mouthfeel. A bit too much for my liking. Oddly enough has notes of a darker beer as well such as raisins, plums, dates.

Sep 26, 2007 Pours a crispy reddish gold with a thic, creamy, puffy head. The sweet aromas of hops, raisins and malty sweet goodness drift into my nose. This is a very thick beer. Feels almost like molasses on my tongue. Long lasting aftertaste that invites you to pick the glass up for another sip.

Sep 24, 2007 Bottle. Burnt orange and a creamy head. Aromas of sweet aged dark fruits, caramel, and fresh, crisp hops. Strong and sweet with plums, raisins, peaches, and caramel at the start. Then a spicine and a hop kick of a finish. Dry at the finish. Definitely can taste the alcohol. Lots of flavors -- seemed to get something different out of each sip. Very well done.
