Jan 20, 2009 Another New Holland let down. Hit and miss with this brewery. Sweet, but very thin for a barley wine. Lacks strong aroma.

Jan 11, 2009 22oz Bottle.A clear amber/orange color pour with a medium off white head,some spotty lacing. Maltyt aroma,sweet bread dough,vanilla,rasins,apples,and pepper.Flavor of brown sugar,cask wood,butter,peaches,honey and alcohol.Full body,thick creamy mouthfeel,soft carbonation,sharp alcohol finish. I think the whaet exposes the flavor and aroma of the alcohol,but in a good way.
Drinkable and good,but slightly overpriced for me and what it is.

Jan 1, 2009 22oz bottle (Binny’s Naperville)-Pours a nice ruby red with a nice small tight beige head. Aroma of sweetness, caramel, yeast, fruits, and raisinns. Taste of the same with the alcohol being very prominent in the taste along with a little bit of oak. This full bodied brew is not bad but a bit too hot turns me off a bit.

Dec 19, 2008 Pours a murky brown with a beige head. Aroma is of wheat, caramel, vanilla, bananas, and malt. Taste was very earthy, with wheat, hops, some lemon zest, sugar, and bananas, all with a caramel malt backbone. Strong alcohol presence makes this one bitter to the taste. Not something Id drink again, but worth a try.

Dec 7, 2008 Pours a deep bronze color. Thick head which dissipates quickly. Very wheaty aroma. Like a Belgian ale.
Flavor is interesting. Vanilla on caramel. Little bitterness, almost unnoticeable. Smooth and lingering palate.
This is better than I expected.

Dec 7, 2008 20080329 Blind tasting notes and score from Cornboy 2nd annual Barleywine Extravaganza. Thin bodied, earthy, sharp, like a super hot ESB with butterscotch and some green beans. Gross. In retrospect, it is a shame this one had the dubious distinction of being served after BAON and FFF Behemoth. Too bad. Based on recent ratings, maybe they changed the recipe for the latest batches.
