Apr 28, 2009 Pours a medium amber. The nose is strong wheat malt and strong alcohol. Comes across the palate as an intial sweetness but finishes rather hoppy and bitter. I think ageing it couple years will change it.

Apr 13, 2009 How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home wine-making course, and I forgot how to drive?

Apr 9, 2009 Bottle back from bruisin’ ales. Pour is a thick bright copper color with zero head. Aroma is syrupy and alcohol. The flavor is alcohol again and a little over the top with it. Combine the alcohol with some seriously resiny pine hops and you got a lip puckering and seriously sipping sort of drink.

Apr 3, 2009 Sampled at the Richmond Gathering. Medium amber, slight head. Molasses aroma with some alcohol heat. Flavor was quite malt oriented, sweet molasses, some pure wort, and that was about it. Not hoppy in the vein of many American barleywines - this was clearly English in nature. Also no detectable wheat infulence in this version either. Not bad, but could probably benefit from some aging to add some layers to the rather simple malt flavors. I think I actually liked this less than the score indicates.

Mar 31, 2009 22 oz. brown bomber bottle, with silk screened label. No freshness date seen. Poured out a deep reddish amber color, with a sticky tan head. Aromas are of burnt sugars, deep fried dates, cheap bourbon. Flavors are about the same as the aromas. Medium mouthfeel, medium body.
OK to try once, & that’s it.
