Flavor is sweet and malty with similar notes of toffee, caramel, honey, light floral esters. Generally medium body with a sweet and malty finish. bluejacket74 (22), Reynoldsburg, Ohio, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Oct 24, 2009 11.2 ounce bottle. Served in a pint glass, the beer pours a hazy amber/orange color with about a half inch off-white head. Head retention and lacing are both good. The aroma is mostly fruity, it smells like apricots, pears, figs, caramel, and bready malt. Taste is pretty much the same as the aroma, except with the addition of some peppery spice and oak. Mouthfeel/body is medium, it’s a little bit coating and has moderate carbonation. Drinkability is good, it’s smooth and easy to drink. The alcohol in this brew is well hidden. I think this is a good overall brew. I enjoyed it, and would buy it again in the future. MrPickles (120), Wisconsin, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 3, 2009 An old rating I found in a notebook, on tap at the Warehouse. Poured a thick looking dark orange with a thin near white head. Aroma was full of sweet barley and a bit of raspberry. Flavor is quite sweet with a bit of an alcohol at the end and malty notes throughout. Sammy (4049), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 26, 2009 Sweetish barleywine ale. Nothing special to look at, and a mild barleywine and malty aroma. A little grapey taste, a little hoppy, a nice one. TET (241), Finland
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 11, 2009 Dark orange beer with weak and white head. Aroma is weird but temptating and it reminds me from Fraoch Heather Alen, thus strongly berries, quite sweet and some alcohol. Flavour is simpler than aroma, malts, berries, pine needles, long and quite dry in the end. Very easy to drink and nicely slippery. Interesting, complex beer, that gives a lot for you.
