Jun 3, 2006 2004 vintage. Cloudy amber brown, nice off-white head, persistent, nice lace. Aromas of malt, peat, caramel, vanilla, apricots, peaches, grapes, tangerines, and alcohol. Tastes are sweet smoky malt, brown sugar, caramel, maple syrup, apricots, bananas, vanilla, cream and scotch whisky. Background of acerbic bitter hops, and a touch of herbs. Complex, deep, and well-balanced, I found myself contemplating the mix of flavors. Mouthfeel is slightly thick and clean.

Nov 28, 2004 I found the balance on this to be inpeccable. Fine, fine barleywine. Nose of apply cider, hazy dark orange color. Some tastes of apricot amidst a heavy body. Warming alcohol effect as it goes done. Fantastic.

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 5, 2004 Yet another Dr. Bill surprise at the Pizza Port Strong Ale Festival. Poured a golden orange w/ good head and lacing. Soury fermented fruit w/ honey and caramel notes on the nose. Strong fermented fruit and caramel apples on the mouth.

Nov 21, 2004 I loved it: Nice hazy orange color. Small head. Huge hoppy and yeasty dough nose. Bitter alcohol taste. Great blanced.

Sep 28, 2003 Wow. Strong pale hoppy fruity and sweet barleywine. This beer really has everything, but is more drinkable than some of the rather syrupy barleywines. I like this a lot.

May 14, 2008 Bottle. Amber color, thinner than expected head. A very malty profile that is balanced well. Dark caramelized sugar, fruity notes, alcohol strength evident. Good barleywine, but may be lacking a certain complexity.
