Bottle, Beer Ritz, Leeds. Poured a dense and rich brown colour with a fading muddy cream head. Aroma offered much, caramel malt and a wood tinged whisky hit arrived backed up with some herby hop and summer fruit. Pretty enticing stuff. Initial sweetness in the flavour leading to a big warming alco-hit .Complex and super tasty with all the characteristics of the aroma and more shining bright with a lip smacking hop profile. Very satisfying.

Dec 30, 2009 Pours pure deep copper with amber like hues and then a tan head on top. The aroma has solid notes of apricots, plums, prunes, raisins and ripe cherries. A big draw quickly brings up solid boozy nose searing heat. The taste is full of sweet dark fruity goodness to go along with caramel candy and a light roasted maltiness that brings this whole thing together nicely. Toward the finish a modest amount of booze heat murmurs up from time to time.

Dec 27, 2009 Aroma of prunes, dried fruits and toffee. Rich flavour with lost of caramel and some roasty flavour, hints of oak with a slight sweetness, but not cloying. I get a slight hint of the Speyside whiskey in the flavour but less in the aroma. Probably started drinking this too cold, so let it warm up a bit more and aroma came out more.

Dec 26, 2009 Bottle: The aroma consists of caramel, toffee, apple, and faint whiskey. It pours a hazy amber with a small off-white head that quickly fades to a thin ring along the outside edges of the glass. The flavor starts with lots of caramel, toffee, and faint apple. The finish has some light citrus hoppiness, faint oak, and whiskey. It’s medium bodied with mild carbonation.

Dec 23, 2009 Very good barley wine, not overpowering at all. I’m new to the barley wine category, but this seems like a pretty good representation of the style. It was pricey though; more than 3.9 times the price of the Green Flash barley wine (on the East coast!).
