Feb 18, 2008 Tap @ Magnolia for 2008 SBM. Poured a deep hazed golden brown color with a beige head. The aroma is thick with notes of raisin pulp (is that what you call the middle of them?). It smelled like a box of Sun Maid. The flavor was of raisins and sweet malt. Medium bodied.

Feb 11, 2008 Wooohoo. Great to try a beer with this name (and it’s over 10% too!). Tried on tap at Magnolia pub during strong ale month. Great pub/restaurant. Creamy microbubble head. Deep red color. Sweet. Alcohol well hidden. Delicious.

Feb 21, 2007 4oz sample in a full size tulip at brewery - Aroma of prunes, plums, raisin, alcohol and earty hops. Pours deep mahogony with a small head and good lacing. Flavor matches aroma with strong alcohol and a deep fruitiness. The hops shine a little too brightly for my tastes. Palate is tart and sticky. A really nice barleywine I’d love to have with a little age on it. Very tasty none the less.

Feb 19, 2007 On tap @ Magnolia: A nice surprise, this one was. Beautiful amber color, totally fruity nose. The flavor was both fruity and warming. There were some nice hops present as well. My favorite beer at Magnolia thus far.
