Jan 2, 2006 Sadly, this is my first barleywine so I’m attracted to the novelty. Very strong caramel/cookie scents and a hint of tropical fruit (pineapple?), but it’s also tainted by the smell of rotted bread or old socks. Very malty, the burnt molasses tastes masks the booze okay. Somewhat syrupy and flat.

Dec 20, 2005 Clear amber pour with no head. Aroma of hops, caramel and alcohol. Flavor of hops, caramel and alcohol. The body is light with a liquorous texture and low carbonation. Not really exciting for a barley wine.

Dec 4, 2005 An orange beer with a small white head. The aroma is sweet malty, while the flavor is more complex with notes of alcohol and malt, as well as a slight touch of hops - just enough to give it a dry hoppy end. The alcohol gives a slight burn.
