Dec 25, 2006 I’m a fan of this. The aroma isn’t real strong, but the taste is nice and smooth. Not verystrong in the alcohol, but sweet and good. A little too expensive, but nice.

Dec 3, 2006 12/02/06 Walk the Line Barleywine Festival, Dunedin, FL. 2003 vintage. Clear orange looking color with thin white head. Very light aroma of sweet malts. I couldn’t make out much else. Nice smooth sweet caramel and citrus hop flavor. A more pronounced aroma and this one would be very nice indeed.

Sep 12, 2006 Pours a lsightly cloudy amber with a spotty patchy thin film of a head. aroma is sweet caramel, fruity esters and a slight alcohol burn in the nose. Sticky sweet caramel malts, hoppy flavor with a bit more alcohol and light hints of smoke and tobacco. Finishes a bit astringent and the body is a bit weak for a barleywine.

Sep 11, 2006 This pours a clear caramel/amber body with a slender, bubbly head. It has the sweet malty nose of toffee with a touch of butterscotch, juicy fruits - both citric and stoned, a whiff of alcohol, and hints of smoke. There’s a strong enough hop bitterness to counter the sweetness, but the flavor is dominated by the sweet malts and fruits, the alcohol lurking beneath the surface, ready to make itself known as soon as the swallow clears the throat. The finish is sticky sweet with some smoke added, perhaps from the low alcohol burn. Dangerously drinkable. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp? Fine Wine and

Aug 8, 2006 03 bottle provided by Eyedrinkale (thanks Mike) at the last (supposedly) Heavyweight Open House. Poured into a small tasting glass. Poured with lots of floaties. Color is orangish-amber. Strong aroma - malty with orange-like citrus hints. Taste is very original - definite tangerine flavors really coming through a subdued barleywine sweetness. Nice.
