Jan 27, 2008 Draft At LB brewpub. Poured a hazy dark ruby color with an average creamy off- white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Good tart fruit and earthy aroma. Medium body with a sticky texture. Heavy bittersweet flavor with a long bittersweet warming finish. Solid beer.

Aug 29, 2004 (draft- Indiana brewers fest) Hazy gold brown ale with a nice grapey hopey aroma. Great vinous tatste with sweet malts and a nice grapefruit hops finish. Good body and balance.

Aug 16, 2005 Sampled at the Great Taste of the Midwest 2005. Had a hazy dark gold body. The aroma was caramel, honey with some light oranges. The taste is rich. This has tobacco, milk chocolate and peanuts. Nice.

Jun 13, 2004 Poured a hazy gold with a small off white head and some nice lacing on the glass. Perfumey citrus hops (both sweet and tart), more fruit, and alcohol as well in the aroma. Sweet and burning alcohol taste, taste of sweet malt, orange peel, dry finish.

Jun 18, 2004 I remember drinking this stuff at the Stoudts Brewfest and remember thinking that it tasted more like a strong ale than a barley wine. I wish I could get into more detail, but oh well.

Aug 15, 2005 Tap @ GTMW. Mostly hazy with a bright orange glow and a thin, icy white head. Hoppy aroma for the majority, teaming with honey, pine, peat and a lemon grass undercurrent. Medium to full bodied. Accentuated hop profile couples with a rich caramel presence. Some cherry toffee chews add character to the palate clinging substance. Rich and sweet and well balanced. Hints of orange rind and rosemary creep up on the tail end. Fairly complex and enjoyable.

Aug 30, 2004 Festival Tap: A bit more body and this would be a really fine barleywine along the lines of Three Floyds & Victory’s hoppy BW’s. Grapefruit and orange rind all over mixed with a slight alcohol touch. Malts are sweet but just a bit light. Very good.
