Oct 1, 2008 Bottle shared by iowaherkeye or possibly pepsican. Thanks to both of you. That should cover it. Poured a ruby brown color with a light tan head. Big malty nose with molasses, caramel, and dark fruits. There was also a papery oxidation note. Medium bodied and slightly sweet. Big malt bill with lots of molasses and a little dog food in the flavor. There was some white paper as well.

Jun 9, 2008 Bottled shared at Noog4 thanks to a trade from McBackus. Chestnut pour with a wispy head. Very bright aroma with fruit and caramel and touches of honey. There is a bit of cardboard to the flavor but it’s not too distracting or noticeable. This seems to have held up quite well. Caramel, honey, light malt, and any hop presence still left are unidentifiable. Good. Creamy medium mouth feel and body. An enjoyable age experiment.

Jun 4, 2008 Tasted at Noogfest 4.0 (2008). This Barley Wine pours a medium brown color from a 750ml bottle. Small sized white foamy head. The aroma is caramel and sweet, with some sherry and a touch of oxidation. A medium bodied Barley Wine. The malts are caramel and sweet. The hops are earthy. This beer is definitely an older barley wine, it is developing that woody oxidation flavor, and the hop profile is fading. Might be a little past its prime. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

Jun 1, 2008 Bottle at Noogfest 08. Pours a deep amber with an off white, yellowish head. Aroma is boozy, with some hints of caramel and sherry. There is flavor of maple and caramel, but the hop bitterness seems to have mellowed quite a bit. There is some sherry and cardboard like oxidization starting to creep in as well. Warming and peppery finish. Sort of a let down. I am curious to try the 02, but that fucker Ross won’t send it to me.

Apr 19, 2008 Big thanks to Beerlando for cracking this one. Caramel-colored pour, no head. Slight sweet aroma that benefits from some lingering hops, also caramel, raisins, spice. Sweet character, alcohol present, but time has mellowed it out. Light spice on finish. Well integrated and smooth. A great barleywine.
