Oct 5, 2006 Thanks to egajdzis/hopdog(they received in a joint trade from the Danes) to the tasting...
Appears a hazy, red toned amber with a small, creamy, light tan head.
Smell is hoppy, with cocoa notes, fruity, hoppy citrus, and caramel.
Taste is of the same aromas with some toasted nuts jumping out.
Mouthfeel is boozy, sugary, and hoppy...this is a year old but I think it needs more age.
As a side note, this one had contributions from Mike Murphy(romabrew)...I thought about how I would rate this from recent comments that were spawned on the probrewer site, as well as RB, & BA by him but I’m taking the high road here and leaving it strictly to the beer to speak for itself. Overall, not bad.

Oct 5, 2006 [Bottled 11/05] Poured a brownish red color, with a large, off white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus fruits, caramel malts, vanilla, tobacco, tropical fruits, figs, and raisins. Taste of more citrus fruits, caramel malts, some vanilla, with dried fruits, and faint rummy alcohol in the finish.

Jul 14, 2006 Bottle shared by DickinsonBeer on 4/22/06: Pours a clear dark copper amber with a big, frothy, nicely-lacing off-white head. Sweet, lightly-toasted dark caramel malty aroma has a nice, fresh American hoppy presence. Starts with good pale malty sweetness with lots of citrusy flavor hops. Well-balanced, but not as big as I’m used to in barleywines.

May 1, 2006 Pours a murky deep amber brown with a thin lasting beige head. Aroma is phenolic with light rubber notes, some funky farmhouse notes as well- then some sweet malt, and a light citrus hoppiness. Sweet malty flavor- a bit dry and overcarbed, and a moderate hoppy bitterness. Nothing really stands out in this beer to make it great, but it was decent.

Apr 23, 2006 Big thanks to Dickinsonbeer for this rare treat. Poured a slightly hazed deep amber color with a small off-white head. Fruity sweet aroma with plenty of malt. The aroma had a mild sweaty note to it. Very malty flavor was sweet and warming. Citrus hop seemed a little light but I also had an Avery Maharaja before it.
