Feb 10, 2008 Bottle at Spuyten Duyvil. Very pale amber beer with a thin white head. Aroma of dried apricot, honey and almonds. Soft peachiness and loads of . Fairly prominent honeyish sweetness behind loads of toffee. It’s okay, but not really the type of barleywine I go for.

Feb 9, 2008 Bottle from River’s Bend. Poured clear copper color with an average white frothy head that was mostly lasting with fair lacing. Moderate spicy malty and alcohol aroma. Medium body with a sticky texture. Medium sweet spicy flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. I would recommend this to a freind.

Feb 9, 2008 Bottle at Spuyten. Not much head at all. Aroma is vanilla, toffee and caramel. Body is creamy smooth without being over the top sticky. Caramel is all over this which ain’t bad, cause I like caramel. Sweet and lively.

Feb 9, 2008 Bottle. Grainy barley sweet aroma rather ordinary. Dark golden body with thin white head. Moderate sweetness with chewy bread notes. A pepper spice bitter flavor is not the best and leaves a stale wheat aftertaste on palate. Wife got me this one for christmas, she the lady.

Feb 6, 2008 The aroma has caramel, hops, and sugar. The appearance is light amber. The flavor is like the aroma. It’s not that bad but it’s not right for this style. The palate is thin. The finish is papery. This is weak for a barley wine.

Feb 3, 2008 33 cl bottle. Pours a clear golden amber color with a small disappearing whitish head. The aroma is sweet malt and citrus notes with an alcohol presence. The flavor is sweet malt and some citrus up front. There is a noticeable hop presence in the mid palate as the bitterness increases. The finish seems to have a slight roasted character. This is an interesting barley wine. Tasted along side the Speakeasy Old Godfather and finished after it, this one was clearly better. Medium/full bodied and pretty smooth. I will age one and check it later.

Feb 2, 2008 Red-golden with a small, dens head. The aroma isn’t very powerful considering the style, but it does have malt, caramel and a light sweetness. The flavour is sweetish with notes of malt, caramel, candy sugar, alcohol, raisin, a touch of licorice and a light, slightly spicy bitterness.

Jan 29, 2008 Crystal clear amber/copper. Small off-whte head. Aroma of toasty caramel/toffee sweetness, rich malt, and some past ripe fruit. Very sweet smelling. Flavor adds subtle cocoa and a graham cracker biscuity malt element. Could use more hops, some nice noble for bittering. Full/medium body, just a bit smoother than balanced, a little richness. Decent. I’d like more balance.
