Jun 22, 2008 22 oz bomber purchased from EZ Liquors. I’m glad that I left the price tag on this one because seeing that I only paid $3.89 for this shows that not all good beers need to be expensive. Pours a very clear orangey brown with a smaller creamy light beige head. Aroma of toffee, honey and raisin. Flavor is nice and sweet with notes of caramel and toffee and no trace of alcohol. This is one well done barley win that I wish I stocked up on.

Mar 27, 2009 A dark brown very opaque pour with a minimal light tan head despite an aggressive pour. A delightfully complex fruity aroma. Flavor has plenty of alcohol with dark fruit and yeast. Very big and quite nice. The flavor stays steady throughout. Very nice! They were not kidding about that ABV, either. What a good barley wine!

Jul 10, 2008 Bottle of the 2008. Aroma is a great candied pineapple. Flavor reminds me of a really good fruitcake. Sticky sweet with a nice piney hop backbone that doesn’t overpower, even though it is a very fresh bottle.

Jun 17, 2007 22 oz bottle, 2004. Almost clear brown with some tan head around the edges. Smells a little off; vanilla-caramel, hops, alcohol and light grass. Hops still out front with soapy caramel in the back. Medium light with light carb. Quite bitter after 3 years.

Jul 6, 2005 Hazy dark amber w/ a small, frothy light brown band of foam. Hoppy aroma of pine & grapefruit w/ a solid caramel malt foundation & a hint of vanilla. Medium-bodied, resiny, but a little thin. Flavour is very hoppy & malty but well-balanced. Finish is quite bitter & dry.

Mar 3, 2008 On cask at Night of the Living Ales IV. I wasn’t going to bother with this beer, until it was suggested by drewbeerme. Wow, what a surprise. This took to the cask extremely well. Nose is a blend of caramel, toffee, red fruit, and citrus. Alcohol is not noticeable. Caramels, cherries, apples, oranges with fresh PNW hops. Tasty beer. I’ll be picking this up next time I see it.
