Sep 23, 2005 Thanks to Hopdog and congrats on 1,400. Pours a dark red amber with a small off white head that left lacing. Aroma of prunes and slight toffee/alcohol. Flavor was similar to the aroma. Some alcohol burn at the end.

Sep 23, 2005 Much thanks to hopdog for sharing this kickass bottle...
Appears a dark amber with a light soapy tan head and spotty lacing.
Smell is of vanilla and cream with hints of dark fruit, along with nice roasted nuts.
Taste is of vanilla, biscuit, dark fruit, and cream.
Mouthfeel is smooth, smooth, velvety smooth.
Drinkability...what ABV?

Sep 23, 2005 Updated: Oct 1, 2005Here it is, my 1,400th rating on RateBeer. Bottle acquired in a trade with jjpm74 (thanks!). Poured a darker and hazy amber/mahogany color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of caramel, oranges, wood, and toffee, Tastes of caramel (lighter than the aroma), plums, and a bit fruity. Light alcohol burn in the finish.

Sep 22, 2005 Poured a hazy orange color with a thin, off white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of oak, caramel malts, nuts, citrus (notably orange) and some light whisky as well. Taste was very fruity, lots of citrus fruits, more caramel malts, grapefruit bitterness, and a hot alcohol finish.

Sep 1, 2005 Pours a murky brown color with a ring of white lace. Excellent aroma of thick, rich malt, caramel, hops and alcohol. Excellent flavor of thick, rich malt, caramel, hops, alcohol and lingering sweetness, the finish is mildly bitter. Medium to full body with a liquorous texture and low carbonation. I notice that this barley wine is 12% abv but it doesn’t feel that way, you notice alcohol but the thick body prevents this gem to be boozey, amazing stuff.

Jul 19, 2005 Well I just had a really nice rating written for this but now it’s gone. Cloudy amber, beige head. Wonderfully balanced sweet, caramelly malts and mild yet flavorful grapefruity hops. Full bodied, no signs of the high abv, and it has yet to oxidize too much. This beer is doing very well right now.

Jul 16, 2005 Updated: Jan 12, 2006Couleur cuivrée allant vers le brun pale. Les premiers arômes confèrent une présence de grains stocké dans la grange, faisant clairement allusion aux Bock, semble tout droit sorti de l’Allemagne. Complexe!, ensuite, arrive le toffee, la réglisse rouge, l’anis étoilé, la crème glacée à la vanille. Cette bière est vraiment complexe. L’alcool est facilement détectable mais est facilement oublié par cette inexplicable présence d’éléments rappelant le pétrole et la plasticine. Corps d’épaisseur moyenne, faible carbonatation.
