Hazy reddish brown body that seems to sparkle just a little bit. Filmy head at best with no lacing. Malty aroma with various degrees of sweet, boozy, nutty and fruity. Filling brew, it demands time to enjoy. Sturdy indeed with a sweet malty body. Figs and raisins along with plenty of toffee and caramel. A touch woody with plenty of sweet breads and nuts. Pretty solid, more age could do this some justice.

Dec 19, 2009 Bottle: Burnt caramel, dark thin sudsy off-white head, spotty lacing. Sorta reminds me of Hair of the Dog Dave. Hot bready nose, slight cheese funk that reminds me of Deschutes Mirror Mirror. Fiery maltiness on the tongue. Feels warm, but the alcohol isn’t too strong. I think this has a higher ABV than it feels or tastes. Minor sweetness, but could use some more. Body and mouthfeel are moderate. Its almost like something was iced out of this beer, and it wasn’t just water. Not bad, but the other New Glarus Barley Wines were more interesting.

Dec 19, 2009 Bottle shared by eaglefan, thanks B! Pours a murkey brownish/red color, small head. Aroma of some dark fruits. Taste is a well balanced for being so a high alcohol content brew... Dark fruit, slighty malty. Texture is slick and oily, goes down smooth. A unique barleywine. Thanks B

Dec 19, 2009 Bottle courtesy of Bockyhorsey, most likely? Shared at SL by me. Poured a red-brown color, near nil head or lacing, looking pretty "big’! The aroma was English Barleywine: fruity, caramel, toffee, dark fruits. The flavor followed with the dark fruits coming to the fore, but it also had a touch of very light bitter roast under it all as well as some maple. Alcohol was detectable in the nose and flavor, but this wasn’t "hot" by any stretch. A nice one by NG, and I thank you, Bill!

Dec 6, 2009 12oz. bottle, with appreciation to Beerlando. Pours an attractive clear garnet color with a good sized fluffy off-white head. Aroma is full of a variety of overripe dark fruits, caramel, and a little toffee. Flavor is fermented dark fruits, caramel, and stronger notes of a sherry or cordial. A sipper for sure, but not as much complexity as I’d hoped. Thanks again Brian!
