Jun 3, 2009 2006 bottle. 9.5% abv. Pours a murky reddish brown with almost no head. Aroma is initially lemony bitterness and moves to oxidized light sweet malt. Flavor is toffee, raisin, a bit of roasted malt, and a good dose of citric bitterness. Some oxidation is present as well. It, surprisingly, came together to balance itself out fairly well. Palate is average but somewhat flat. Better than I remember when I had it on tap several years ago.

Pours Camel gold with slight red hue and no head. Sweet malts, dried fruit and cereal grains on the nose. Candi sugar and sweet malts with a great hop finish and nice acidity to balance the sweetness. Overall I approve.

May 4, 2009 Pours a dark red with a small lacing. Aroma is both hoppy and sweet. A little bit of candy sugar. Flavor is malty and sweet, but also with hoppy bitterness in the end. Palate is average, typical for a contemporary barleywine, slightly spritzy, though sticky. Overall, good to very good.

Apr 30, 2009 Medium hop aroma, with some sour apple. Also a tad malty. Appearance was dark amber with nearly no head. Flavor had some sour apple, toasted malt, molasses and some caramel to round things out. Palate was moderately fizzy and kinda sour. Not too bad.
