On draught at McNeills. Pours brown with a light brown head. Smells of spice, dark fruit and some bourbon. Taste is spicy with a nice malty backbone. I wish they bottled this one.

Fantastic. Wow. Full aroma of alcohol, malt, sweet fruit, and port. The taste does not let you down. This just might be the best barleywine I’ve ever tasted, honestly. Wow. On tap at the Dirty Truth, Northampton, Ma.

2002... Poured a murky brown, reddish color with a thin, off white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus hoppiness, lots of citrus fruits, sweet malty caramel, raisins, and port. Taste of cherries and other dark fruits, sweet caramel maltiness and a faint bitterness. Dry, light alcohol finish. Amazing!

’02 version sampled on tap @ brewery. As good of a bw that’s out there. I was lucky to see this on the blackboard and man did I pounce on it. Nicely aged, malty roasted sweeetness in a glass. Nice alcohol kick.

On tap. The color is between red and brown. Nice aroma of caramel and alcohol. Great, powerfull flavors of alcohol, hops and roastiness. Great barley wine, I wish I would’nt live so far from Brattleboro since McNeil’s is my favourite brew-pub ...

Extreme Beer Fest 2003: Hazy orange color with no head. It smelled of oranges, full bodied, starts and ends sweet.

Draft @ extreme beer fest'04: Sign said 3/03 batch. Kinda of a plastic scent with carmel and ABV. Hazy amber color. Carmel, cherry, Chocolate all come to mind. Creamy with a bite, thought the 9% was hidden a bit. Again want to have this a brewpub for a rerate.
