May 17, 2009 Deep, dark Red pour with barely any head. Aroma of vague sweetness, some plums. Flavor is very sweet, mostly fruit, with some piney hops. Pretty thick mouthfeel with appropriate carb for a barley wine. Finishes bitter. Pretty surprisingly decent from this brewer.

Apr 7, 2009 Bomber courtesy of Solan. Aromas of dark fruits, some smoked wood and alcohol on the nose. Murky but amber body with a horseradish mustard head. Heavy caramel malt and a plumb flavored fruit seem to be a good mix. The alcohol maded the head fall forward and now I have the ring of a pint glass on the center of my forehead. Awinter warmer brew and good night cap brew. Thanks Alan

Drank unswervingly from a 22 oz bomb. An uncouth muscular & soaring alky brew. Shoddier on the taste buds than I expected. Yellow clear and perhaps vaguely darker than a pale American lager. If there is any carbonation, it’s overshadowed by the alcohol. Wew, aroma is nearly all the enjoyment in this brew for me. Nasty ass kicken beer and on style; exactly what I think about the barley wine brew. Some of these barley wines are on par with cheap American gas station malt liquors. Near the bottom I’m getting a bit distracted. Way too strong.

Mar 25, 2009 Bottle pours out a copper/amber topped with a sand head. Aroma was sweet plenty of brown sugar and caramel. Tast was more sweetness. A nice thick malt and faded hops. I think this bottle is a year old. Not bad.

Mar 25, 2009 Excellent marks up front for aroma and appearance. The aroma jumps out right away, a sweet mxture of malts, caramel, fruits, brown sugar, hint of alcohol. The appearance is a nice reddish brown, thin white head, very hazy. The flavor follows the aroma in that it is very sweet, more like an English Barley Wine than an American one, which tends to be a little more hoppy. The taste is malty, fruity, alcohol. The finish has a modest amount of piney hops, and quickly an alcohol burn becomes noticeable. The astringency at the finish does seem to increase a bit as it warms. Very pleasing. Medium/thick, silky mouthfeel. Excellent effort from a normally mediocre brewer.

Mar 18, 2009 Murky red-orange with a thin light tan cover. Aroma is sweet malts, brown sugar, some alcohol, plum and berry fruitiness. Taste is a bit light, more berries and plums, brown sugar and port with an herbal floral type of hoppiness that doesn’t lend much bitterness.

Mar 2, 2009 bottle poured a ruby amber color with a thin layer of off white head. aroma has sweetness, brown malt, light spice, and some alcohol. flavor is well on the malted side, light spices, fairly sweet, and some muted hops. there is an odd twigs and berries thing that I cant quite get into and the hops side is somewhat aged in. I have had this bottle for a little while and the time sitting seems to have done this well.
