| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 27, 2007 Dark amber with red highlights and a brief beige head.

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jul 26, 2005 Bottle from Pailhead. Red, ruby colored with a nice tannish head which leaves good lacing behind. Piney and citric hops cover quite a bit of the malt and alcohol that is also present in nose. Body is medium, well carbonated. Flavors blend caramel and toffee notes with the obvious hoppiness. Alcohol is there but tucked away in corner. Well done! illinismitty (1797), Nashville, Tennessee, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 4, 2009 2006 bottle from....Shigadeyo maybe? Pours a very nice copper with an off white head. Aroma of sugary malts, alcohol, berry, and wine. Medium bodied with some slight syrupyness to the texture. Flavor of caramel and raisin countered with some muted, but still bitter hops. Some vineous qualities as well. Finish is warming but with an overwhelming amount yeast and dust. For a barleywine, this not aging well nor bad. However, I suspect this is past it’s prime. The fading hops are not leaving enough of an interesting malt profile to mix with the alcohol. pilsnerrogge (1784), Finspång, Sweden
