The pour reveals a murky brown color with a ring of offwhite lace on top. Nice aroma of chocolate, caramel, malt and wood. The flavor is strong on the malt, caramel and chocolate, sweetness is felt all the way, the wood is less present though and I didn’t detect the rye. The body is light to medium with a creamy texture and moderate carbonation. It’s not a great barley wine , but it was interesting.

Jun 11, 2008 Amber red color with a beige head leaving some lacing. Smell of floral hops, cherries, vanilla, and maybe some rye, though I don’t know if that’s just because I know they used rye. In the taste I get cherries, caramel, floral hops, toffe, and oak. Body is somewhat light and has light carbonation. A decent beer. Thanks to iowaherkeye for sharing.
