| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 25, 2009 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. Cletus (5052), Connecticut, USA

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.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Oct 8, 2009 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. Pwn3d (1063), Manhattan, New York, USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jul 24, 2009 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. Bhops (334), Dallas, Texas, USA
