Aug 20, 2008 22. Thanks, RiversideAK! Clear but very dark brown. Dense but very thin tan head. Big buttery nose with a bit of licorice in there as well. Body’s on the high side of medium with woolly carb. Butterscotch, caramel, licorice and even a tiny hint of cherry in there. Mild sweet finish.

does not count  Aug 15, 2008 A very controlled deep, chocolaty and malty flavor with maybe a hint of oak. Extremely smooth and drinkable for its ABV. More alcohol detected as the beer warms a bit. Would definitely recommend for fans of barleywines and sweeter porters and stouts. (22oz bottle, purchased at Hi Time Wine Cellar in Costa Mesa, CA)

May 22, 2008 My bottle (22oz) shared with HogTownHarry, tupalev & garthicus. Pours a very deep, somewhat murky, reddish-brown with a few floaties and an average size somewhat-lasting beige head. Aroma of caramel malt, lightly roasted along with notes of peat, nuts and chocolate. Malty flavour, sweet and roasty along with peat, nuts and hops.
Alcohol’s well hidden. Average bodied. Good stuff, I really enjoyed this.

May 19, 2008 Bottle shared with Hogtown Harry, Blankboy, and Garthicus, courtesy of blankboy. Great name. Very dark brown, small white head, looks really interesting. Sweet aroma, mostly caramle. Good taste - strong, sweet, lots of hops - classic strong/barleywine here. Complex very strong stuff. Great.
