Jan 10, 2009 YeAH 2008. thanks Blake: Floaties in this amber hued beer topped by an okay head. The aroma has notes of carmel, toast, apple, pear, peat, oxidized paper and mineral as well. The taste starts spicy and herbal with twangy fruit note. This finish is roasted and a touch doughy. The mouth feel is oily and sticky, aggressive alcohol note, non too shabby. A bit old but drinkable, I doubt this will continue to improve for years.

Dec 19, 2008 2005 Vintage Pours cloudy orange with floaties. Aroma is sweet citrus and alcohol. Flavor is good sweet with a smooth malt flavor. Alcohol is hardly noticable in the flavor. Carbonation has faded away as well as the hop profile. This brew handles ages nicely and Im glad I got a couple more to enjoy later.

Dec 15, 2008 12 oz bottle generously shared by Indra. 2005 Vintage. Pour is mostly clear orange golden. No head to speak of. Aroma of soft caramel, floral, grass, just really soft and delicate. Very inviting nose, just lovely. Taste is caramel malt sweetness, honey, with floral notes. There is a green apple fruitiness as well. Nice, though not as sharp as the nose. Palate is big, mouth coating, completely satisfying. Thanks Eric.

Dec 14, 2008 2005 bottle shared by Indra. Pours a dark golden orange with a creamy beige skin. The nose is of fruity hops over a solid malt backing: pineapple, apple and caramel malt. Medium to full-bodied with assertive carbonation and a mildly bitter finish. The flavor is a round, sweet, honey-like malt with a fruity hop backing. An interestingly different barley wine. Thanks for the opportunity to try this one, Eric.

Oct 27, 2008 Cloudy amber with a lot of sediment, very small off-white head. Big malt nose, caramel, plum, and soft milk chocolate in the finish. Very enjoyable, a touch of alcohol shows, but very smooth all around.
