Pours an amber color with a medium off-white head with some lacing. Aroma is caramel, toffee, with some sweet malt characteristics. Taste is about the same. Definetely a well-rounded barley wine.

Aug 16, 2008 Pours an amber color with thin off-white head. Aroma is off bright caramel, toffee, light fruit and mild alcohol. Taste is much the same with the overall character being a bit more brash. Carbonation is about average but a little too much for a BW.

Aug 14, 2008 22 oz. bottle from Knightly Spirits. Pours a beautiful amber/tan/caramel color and a minimal tan head. Tight curtains of tan lace envelop the glass. The aroma is solid caramel, dark fruits, and honey. This beer is sweet and slightly boozy with more dark fruits like plum, more caramel, wood chips, nicely balanced hop and malt characters. Smooth texture and a full, rounded mouthfeel. Low/medium carbonation and full body. This is a great barleywine and another example of why I love this style.

Aug 13, 2008 22 oz bottle. Pours a dark copper color with a small off-white head. Aroma is mild dried fruits, with a touch of hops and a LOT of alcohol. A pretty decent barleywine.

Aug 11, 2008 Pours a wonderful light amber with a slight head. Aroma is of prunes, grapes, cherries, and of faint hops. Heavy, syrupy body with plenty of fruit and alcohol in the finish. Like many barley wines the flavor improves as it warms - well balanced and easy drinking - I like!
