Oct 23, 2009 07 bottle courtesy SoLan, thanks Alan! Pours a dark caramel color with a tan head. Spicy rye, toffee and vanilla aroma. Taste is BW style, toffee, vanilla, chocolate and spiciness of the rye. I thought this was really interesting.

Oct 22, 2009 thanks to solan for sharing! Molasses and caramel malts on the nose, has a bit of age on it from the aroma, sherry-like aromas. Pours a dark caramel brown with no head. Smooth and malty with hints of chocolate and vanilla, very rich malt flavors. Not much hoppiness at all. Thick and creamy mouthfeel though. Nice.

Oct 22, 2009 Courtesy a trader sometime ago. June 07, btl #816. Dark amber/ruby, off white carbonation. Aged English barley wine with detectable rye and barrel notes, cocoa on the finish. Body is a bit thin from the age, still nice though.
