Jun 14, 2005 Delicious barley wine. Nice maltiness that, coupled with the alcohol, steals the breath like eating too many whoppers. Plenty of spicy hops lends some citrus notes.

Jun 14, 2005 Cloudy faded maroon color with almost no head. Fruity aroma and taste, but it has a sharp malty bite at first with a smooth hoppy flow that slips past on a bed of alcohol.

Jun 11, 2005 22 oz bottle: Sweet sugary aroma and has some malt, hop, and small dosage of grapefruit. Copper colored vision with a little amount of murk throughout liquid. Head is a beige fluffy topping ridiculed from big air bubbles. Taste is somewhat old and flat but the sweet malt and trace of hop make it drinkable. Also noticed such other qualities like raisins and fig. $5 plus tax and CRV @ Trader Joe’s=expensive!!

Jun 7, 2005 22 oz bottle. Poured a deep ruby/orange with a thin tan head that dissapeared and left a little lacing. Aromas were wonderful. I could have sat there and smelled this beer all day. Very Malty. Caramel, Apple, Raisin. Flavor was toffee at first then a lot of caramel with some slight coffee too. Some hoppy bitterness and Alcohol flavors in the sweet, sweet finish. Very yummy.

Jun 4, 2005 From a 22oz bottle.
Pours a clear reddish-copper with a thin ivory head. Lots of lace though. Smells fruity....apple and pear, some grape character. Tart with a hint of bitterness.
Taste is rich caramel. Malty as all get out. Some nice biting hoppiness in the background there but this is more of a British-style barleywine and it’s all about the malt. Molasses and coffee notes shine through in the finish. Sticky aftertaste but pretty smooth considering. At $2.29, it’s certainly worth a flyer. Good stuff and I guess it will age nicely too.

May 24, 2005 Beautiful to look at, delightful to the olfactories, warming to the soul....I liked this beer. And though it has nothing to do with the flavor, the artwork on the bottle is impressive, adding to the positive experience.
Drink with care outside the home, however. It packs a wallop.

May 23, 2005 Clear dark copper color brew with just a tad bit of creamy bubbles around the glass.I love the aroma of Barleywines.sweet syrupy,malty with the underlying hops.This is right along those lines,even has what might be prunes or some other dark skinned fruit.Boy,the flavor just seems a little raw or harsh though.I can get some of the sweet fruits but it is raw.
