Apr 30, 2007 Sampled at DLD. Pours a clear amber with a white head. Chocolate, toffee, carmel, fruit, and hops in the nose. The flavor is similar with candied sugars. Kinda funky with a sour vinegar tinge to it that I’m getting sick of quick.

Apr 8, 2007 Pours amber/orange with a small head that dissipated disturbingly fast. Aroma of toffee and light apple vinegar. Taste was surprisingly fruity; strawberries, if you can believe that! Also some caramel and wheat. Alcohol was well covered. Mostly sour flavor, with a sweet finish. Unique.

Mar 9, 2007 Courtesy sprinkle. Lightly hazy bronze/amber topped by a small, dense, off white head. Nose of heavy malt- wheat and barley, past ripe fruits still on the tree, earth, sharp (but not overpowering at all, a nice compliment) yeast, subtle alcohol warmth and sourness. Same flavors with a bit of richness, some earthy and bitter hops, even more sourness- of the tangy variety, and zesty, nearly peppery yeast. Full body, balanced- creamy yet foamy. Has a similar tang to that of the Dragon’s Milk, only this time it matches better. Definitely some funky cheese in the aroma now, though. Could be oxidized or infected, first time having this brew so I’m not sure. I’d definitely drink it again, even if only for comparison.

Feb 21, 2007 Pours a deep copperish amber with a small off white head. The aroma is very malty with notes of caramel, fruiut, and wheat. Flavor is full bodied with a deep maltiness of caramel and fruit.

Feb 3, 2007 12 oz bottle, via trade. Pours a clear copper colored body under a minimal fizzy beige head that faded to a thin ring. Sparce visible carbonation present. The nose is huge overpowering alcohol fumes first off. Lots of heavy syrupy toffee and caramel malt with some fruitiness. Flavor has a disturbing sour tinge to it, acidic and vinegar like. Still lots of alcohol, especially on the finish. Some toffee does peek through, but definately not enough. Finishes with lots of bready and doughy malt. Mouthfeel is thick and syrupy with minimal carbonation. Rather sticky and cloying on the finish. Overall, another very disappointing brew from New Holland. I’m beginning to see a pattern with them.

Jan 22, 2007 A nice winter treat. Fairly ligght for a barleywine whe poured. Very sweet filled with a fruit and citrus on the first smell. First taste will stike you a tame and sweet. Aftertaste is where the alcohol is sensed as it does come up and let its presence be known. I think this is a fine interpretation of a barleywine and would recomend this to anyone looking for a change of pace.
