Sep 11, 2008 Tasted 8/25/08. 12oz bottle. Clear yet sedimented. Dark amber ruby hue. Webbed off-white head. Aromas of caramel and spices. Full bodied with big sticky malts and a bitter alcohol note. Lingering finish. Malt character has nuances of caramel and toffee. Sticky burnt candy. Mild effervescence. and the zest intnesifies as it warms. Malt dominant, followed closely by the alcohol note. Woody toasty malts. Solid and bitter. Big and bold. Money!

Sep 11, 2008 Bottle from ibrew2or3. Cheers! Dark amber in color. Small head. Aroma of sugar/fruits. Taste is alcohol, fruits, sugar, overall a funky taste. Maybe that is the organic products. It does have a little spicyness to it. Not that good to be honest. I have better barleywines....

Aug 31, 2008 Pours a thick brown color with minimal head and no lacing. Smell is of a typical Barleywine with a bit more alcohol than normal, but nice none the less. Taste is, well, rich and rather complex, but nothing great. Definate malt presence as well as darker fruits. A little too hot

Aug 20, 2008 12oz bottle of 2007 from Bottleworks NW. Pours amber with slight white head. Slight hop aroma. Body is rather thick on the tongue, laced with alcohol, not as sweet or hoppy as other barleywines. Like the not sweet part. Finish is smooth.

Aug 13, 2008 ’07 pours with thin white head. Hops and malt both come through in the nose. At room temp, it’s easy to drink with malt coming through and it finishes with a slight taste of espresso.

Aug 9, 2008 Bottle ’07: Pours a light amber color with a medium, dense sandy colored head. Thick lacing. Aroma is strong; citrus and malty sweet notes. A little candied fruit. Tastes strong of maltiness, lightly bready, and lighter in the citrus/fruity area. Has a bit of a wheaty feel too. Some caramel. Nice and warming.

Aug 4, 2008 Bottle from Orlando’s Knightly Spirits, the ultimate beer cache. Pours a minimal but delicious-looking tan head with a strong, boozy caramel aroma that stings the nostrils. Flavors include big, biiiig caramel, slight resinous hops, toffee, very whiskey-like oak barrel overtones throughout, vanilla, shucked corn, and oats. Full, rounded mouthfeel and a stronger carbonation than normal for the style. Not the easiest to drink, but still a good barleywine.
