 surffisher (194), Raleigh, North Carolina, USA
Jul 14, 2008 22 oz. bomber, pours a deep red-amber with a massive frothy tan head with good retention and lacing. Aroma is all piney hops on the pour with layers of toasty biscuity malts, caramel, and toffee coming later. Fruity esters are a bit subdued but include prunes and plums and some raisin. Flavor is nicely balanced, but dominated by the toasty malts with piney hops providing balance into a moderately dry finish. The body is medium to medium-full; smooth, with moderate carbonation and a perfect amount of warming. Overall, an excellent barleywine. Extrordinarily drinkable, as it balances a bit to the thin side, though still supportive of a relatively high ABV and full flavors.

Jul 13, 2008 Sampled at Empire State Brew fest in Syracuse. Simply amazing. Unequivocally my favorite of the night to this point. Malty nose with some a bit of hops trying to come through but mainly malt. Incredibly well blended together. Great malt aftertaste. Would buy again
