Commercial Description:
This English-style Barleywine is fermented and aged for ten months and dry hopped for two months prior to packaging to give it a smooth mouth feel rarely found in the bitter American barleywines. Its copper color is the result of twelve house of boiling to caramelize the sugars and we also add five varieties of hops during an additional two hour boil. As you can see and taste, we brew this beer with the highest level of quality in mind. Please enjoy this warming barleywine with its warming flavors and hint of peat very responsibly. Malts: Pale, Crystal, Peated. Hops: Magnum, Centennial, Northern Brewer, Cascade, Tettnanger, East Kent Goldings, Fuggles. 70 IBUs.

2003 bottle from The Foodery. Clear amber pour, frothy off-white head. Musty malt, caramel, touch of fruit and brown sugar, and some vanilla. Decent barleywine, but nothing special.

750ml bottle ’07 Edition 9/20/09-Pours a hazy orangish amber with a big loose off white head. Aroma of sugars, yeast, caramel, toffee, and hops. Taste of the same with raisin and fruit flavors coming across. This medium to full bodied brew is not bad and seems to have held up rather well. Nice job.

Pleasant surprise. Lots of intense alcohol aroma. Nice overall taste. Malt. Sweet. Could age a bit though.
