Feb 24, 2008 Poured reddish brown coor with small beige head. OK this beer tasted stronger than the 8.5 ABV. and is not very smooth. I guess I am not a barley wine type of guy, because I did not care for this brew. Scent was ok but taste was to harsh.

Feb 20, 2008 bottle. 2007 vintage (i think), pours ruby with creamy off white head. nose is loaded with molasses, some caramelized nuts. flavor of molasses, toffee, nuts. very mild smoke and peatiness as well. this is pretty straight forward, but its tasty. sweet but not too sweet and no alcohol is noticed. a tad watery. rather short, bland, sweet finish. solid stuff though.

Feb 18, 2008 Pours dark brown with a thin head. Aroma is yeasty like bread with some mild fruit tones. Sweet malt flavor, more of a bready presence in flavor as well. Not Bad.

Feb 17, 2008 Very scotch ale like - in other words very drinkable, easy drinking for such a kick-ass beer. Smooth and malty, nice caramel notes throughout, somewhat ripe fruit, but not Belgain like in its noticability. A real treat.

Feb 15, 2008 $2.49 bottle from HWC. Large bubble head that fades fast to a small ring around the edge of the glass. Dark amber color. Bought in June 2007. Lots of melanoidins, probably from a long boil caramelization rather than the malt. Butter sweet. It’s OK.

Feb 11, 2008 Tasting at Three Cellars. Not what i had expected. Full and creamy that goes down pretty smooth. Not as thick as the better scottish ales

Feb 5, 2008 Bottle at No. 5.
Orange with a beige head. Aroma heavy malty (caramel, brown sugar, oak, light chocolate notes). Flavor heavy sweet, light bitter. Oily, the strength is felt!

Feb 3, 2008 Updated: Mar 6, 2008Dark orangish red color wth a minimal tan head. Sweet malty caramel aroma. Full bodied and creamy that goes down pretty smooth. A little too sweet for my taste but a decent barley wine. I would probably drink this one again.
