Feb 15, 2008 Cask:
Pours a deep amber brown color with a tan head. Aroma is caramel, toffee, and some hops. Flavor is malty, caramel, and a bitter earthy citrus hop finish.

Feb 9, 2008 Color is a nice clear reddish-brown. Aroma is strong and malty, not complex but promising. Flavor is strongly malty with quite an alcohol bite - typical of a barleywine - and a hint of caramel or toffee. Texture is smooth but a little edgy, and it goes down with a hint of liquid fire.

Feb 9, 2008 Cask @ ATL Cask Ale Fest ’08. Notes of hops, malt and toffee. Decent but not great.

Jan 30, 2008 Appearance: Pours a murky, dark brown body with a thin, wispy beige head.
Smell: Muddled aroma of various notes - dark caramel, citrus, pine, and even a pinch of roast.
Taste: Earthy, soil-strewn dark caramel flavor with, well, not much sweetness. Citrusy, piney hops with a moderate bitterness that lasts into the finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: One of those beers that is only a barleywine by name alone.

Jan 27, 2008 Tasted at Atlanta Cask Ale fest. Pours a deep cloudy ruby color. Aroma of fruit and hops. Taste of sweet malts, fruit, and hops. Finish is hoppy.
