Commercial Description:
An epic barleywine, made in the tradition of British Farmhouse Brewing. Lavished with a velvety blend of six different malts this is a warming beer with a lush mouthfeel. The complexities your discriminating palate will detect are ever changing as this barleywine matures. When young, an assertive hop character predominates and with age the beauty of the big malt balance unfolds.

Thanks to JW77. Reddish pour. Aroma is somewhat average for the style. Some spicy hops, honey, alcohol and citrus peel. Flavor is lightly sweet with a good citrus hop bite.

Not bad, though I would not say that this stands out among barley wines. There was certainly the deep color and flavor with a lightly alcoholic aroma.

2005 bottle. Pours reddish mahogany with a tan head. Smells of syrup, some molasses, resiny, some citrus. Tastes sweet and sticky with an underlying bitterness.

650 ml bottle. From the US (H). Shared with Brandman. Ruby red colour with small off-white head. Aroma is weak berry, sweet hoppy and alcohol. First hoppy, sweetish flavour with long-lasting berry and boozy aftertaste. Dry. Not very balanced.

Bottle: Pours dark brown with a light head. Nose is bitter with a hop forward character and light toasty pale malt. The flavor is also bitter with a light sweet undertone. Not balanced. Needs a little more fruity balance, caramel and just body. Not my favorite.

2007 22oz bottle purchased at the brewery in Syracuse. Poured into a Chimay chalice it’s actually a melon orange color, not the dark amber/brown that I expected. There is a thin head of swirling white lace. Aroma is sweet caramel and some creaminess... actually really appetizing. Flavors are very well blended - I’m not sure if that is the age, but this is good. Spiciness and sweet maltiness are in harmony. This is very nice.
