Apr 23, 2008 Draft at Oldsmar Tap House. Pours a reddish amber with little head. Aroma is sweet and alcoholic. Flavor is more of the same, with very little hoppiness rounding it out. It’s a bit too one-dimensional and too alcoholic. Just average.

Apr 23, 2008 im surprised that i was able to get this 2008 version at fred meyers in bremerton.
pours a clear ruby-brown with a large yellowish head that leaves rather quickly but leaves a good lacing.
smell of malts, caramel, some hops, touch of fruit.
taste is creamy, malt, caramel, some spice, somewhat sweet (fruity) and ends nicely bitter, excellent balance.
overall im quite impressed, maybe just a little on the sweet side for me.

Apr 23, 2008 The aroma is very likable. It’s got caramel, brown sugar, malt, and hops. The appearance is burnt orange/amber with an average head. The flavor is sweet and bitter with lots of caramel. The palate is smooth. Overall it’s good.

Apr 22, 2008 Impressive barly wine. Not overly hoppy like similar NoCal brews. Little alcohol and smooth nutty caramel finish. Nice.
