Nov 1, 2005 Clear copper on the pour. Aroma big on your average barleywine goodies, caramel, heavy malt, sweetness, light on hop, and hints of dark fruits. Flavor is similar, but felt a little flat. Still enjoyable with all the flavors balancing together quite well though.

Oct 19, 2005 dark ruby red or coppar color. The aroma is incredibly hoppy with some citrus and fruits. Taste is HOPPY! They have certainly dumped loads and loads of hops into this. This is a quite pleasant brew, with a bite in the finish. credit goes to ruffian for bringing this over from the states

Oct 12, 2005 Copper with a solid white head. Short retention and pretty good lace. Aroma had citrus, graitfruit, plum and hard liquor I can’t quite put my finger on. Taste had a good citrus and graitfruit kick. Mouthfeel was a bit watery. This is very nice. My particular sample needed some aging.

Sep 30, 2005 Pours bright amber with a small white head that has some bubbles mixed in there. Fruity, floral aroma with some alcohol notes. Taste is floral hops, grapefruit and smoooooth all over the place. No trace of the 9.5% anywhere in the taste. Somewhat of a thin body for a barleywine, but other than that, this beer is delicious.

Taste is rich, moderately sweet, grapefruit, caramel, orange, floral. Some alcohol warming in the finish. Sticky medium-full body. Not the biggest barleywine, but certainly a tasty one.
