May 3, 2009 750 ml bottle - thanks to sammy for the great trade; dark amber with fluffy white head giving off sweet aromas of spice, wheat, dank fruit, hay; quite strong, but one of those nice, thick sippers to drink by the fire; texture is soft with mild spice and wheat mixed in with the sugar and mild booze on the finish; pretty killer overall and Ithaca continues to impress

Apr 25, 2009 750ml bottle from a trade with phhd. Dark murky brown color with a decent off white head. Dark ripe fruit aroma. Roasty flavor, big coffee flavor, surprising for a barley wine, more like a porter IMO. Had a slight bitterness in there as well with a dry finish. Not bad.

Apr 20, 2009 750, capped. Thanks, SuzyGreenberg! Pours a murky dark brown with medium caramel highlights. Mild light rye-sour notes on the nose, along with some bready/yeasty sweetness. Creamy thick body. Nice sharply sourish mid-palate, has a citric and rye-like sourness that seems to come from hop or yeast as much as malted rye. Very unusual and interesting beer.

Apr 14, 2009 Earthy. mirthy. worthy. girthy? I really enjoyed this. Falls into a style rare for me where I think it would potentially age well as it has a quality that stands up to being okay even if oxidized - which is wasn’t. Would be a reall sipper were it not for me enjoying it so that I wanted to gulp. I did compromise as I had to extend my thimbleful. lovely.

Apr 11, 2009 Bottle shared by BgThang. Thanks Ken! Pours a rich maroon color with a light beige head. Smell is bourbony, sweet malts and was generally very rich and nice. Taste is dry malts, bourbon and wood. Medium to soft body and soft carbonation. Dark bitter caramel and dry earthy hops. Very enjoyable one one of the better ones of the night, I thought.

Jan 30, 2009 Nice beer - dark ruby pour, flavor of sour cherry sweet tarts and wood with dark raisin and heavy malts. Boozy but good.
