May 10, 2006 Pours thick syrup red with a thin gray head that rings my glass with an island of foam in the middle. There is a lot of booze in the nose, but so much else also. Apricot, cherries, chocolate, caramel, toffee, blue berries, all play together nicely. Lemon toffee flavor hit me first then a magnificent mixture of dark fruit and vanilla with a nut note. I am reminded of old numbskull as I drink this, and that is a compliment in my book. Incredible sweet flavors but not cloying, there is a fantastic bitter balance here that is citrus and floral with a touch of wood. A nice sipper to contemplate life the universe and everything with. A grape cola flavor is present in the finish. Lots of raisin in the flavor too. I need to slow down my thought process and quiet myself down and I can feel this working. Wow, this leaves some legs down the side of my glass. A nice peach flavor emerges in this the chocolate is coming through well too. This is the kind of barley wine I like.

Apr 20, 2006 Bottle... Clear, amber ale with a small, creamy, khaki head. Lots of maple, toffee and wildflower honey in the nose. A bit vineous. Malty flavor with an explosion of sticky sweetness... honey, toffee and caramel. Warming alcohol. Full-bodied and syrupy with medium carbonation. Finishes sweet, then lightly bitter with a warm sheath of drying alcohol. I dig it! Thanks go out to artusory for the bottle!

Apr 9, 2006 Big thanks to CaptainCougar for this one. Very nice brown body with a quickly diminishing ivroy head. Nice fruity aroma, some light malts with hop accents. Excellent body, smooth and fruity hops. Very clean ending, the alcohol is not very noticable.
