Feb 28, 2007 NOt much aroma. Taste is interesting. Has some hops and spice but also a bit of butter up front. Gets better as you go along for sure. Great finish.

Feb 26, 2007 Deep amber beer with a thin white head. Slightly dusty aroma, sweet maltiness with a touch of sweet fruit, some bubble gum and a bit of spicy yeastiness. Some sweet cardamom flavour and an earthy bitterness that backs up the spiciness quite nicely. Not really an old ale, but it’s still a pretty tasty brew.

Feb 24, 2007 Pretty awesome beer. Nice brown collor and sweet, malty aroma. Not much head to speak of. Very sweet taste which is offset with just enough hops. Can’t tell this has a high alcohol content at all. Not sure if this is true to the style, as I’ve not had an old ale before. Definately worth trying but maybe not worth revisiting if only because of the price (almost 5 bux for a 16.6oz bottle).

Feb 21, 2007 Pours brown with a thin white head. Smell is overly swet with lots of malt and sparse hoppy elements. Taste is sweet with some earthy elements. Not true to style.

Feb 11, 2007 Aroma is striking-- immediately, there are smells of aged hop, caramel, and flowers. The body is a brilliantly-clear amber; head is a perfect, foamy tan. Flavor is intense. There are some smoky, malty flavors... there is a pronounced hop flavor and yet the beer is not overly hoppy... some sherry/port flavor... and the beer has a big malt-sweet backbone. This is what I’d imagine a "lite barleywine" to taste like. Nice, balanced hop finish. My only complaint is that the beer is a bit TOO sweet. Otherwise, I’d say this was a perfect brew. I’d love to find this on draught. This beer would probably age very well.
