Poured a hazy red/brown color with a small, off white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus fruits, candy sugar, dried fruits, floral hops, caramel, and light pine. Taste of sweeter caramel, candy sugar, vanilla, citrus, pine, grassy hops, dark fruits, medium bitterness, and light alcohol in the finish.

Jul 6, 2008 Very nice dark red color, big malty aroma. Heavy sweet flavor, like sucking on a piece of hard candy. Very good beer, need to pick up a few bottles for the cellar. Goes good with birthday cake too.

Brown-red copper body. Nose of rich malt, plums and alcohol. Flavors include plum, apricot, caramel and alcohol. Would like to try in a year or to - to see how it ages.

Jun 29, 2008 Bottle thanks to 1_2many. I’ve been wanting to try this beer for a long time. I’m glad I finally got the chance, excellent beer. Is dark brown, amber with not much of a head. Malty sweetness in the flavor, followed by some raisin, caramel, and alcohol. Also has a nice bitter finish. A wonderful barley wine.

Jun 28, 2008 Updated: Jun 29, 2008Bottle thanks to dchmela, cheers mate Aroma is still young but some nice caramel malt notes along with flowers, citrus, oak, dried dark fruits and apricots. Pours a nice smaller than average off-white head that mostly diminished and left good lace. Murky dark amber brown hue. Flavor is sweet and malty. Caramel and citrus fruit that transitions to a mild bitterness. Palate is full bodied, kind of cloying, and oily soft. Very nice brew, even when young. Very well balanced with a great feel and look. Top notch.
