Dec 23, 2007 Ruby red to dark orange in color with a creamy head leaving some lacing. Strong toffee and caramel smell and even a bit of ripe fruit. Taste pretty much mimics the smell but I like the taste better than the smell. Medium to full body, with an average carbonation, creamy and smooth. Pretty drinkable, I’d probably have another.

Dec 23, 2007 I poured the beer a little harsh so the top of the original head has a little stuck lacing, looks pretty good. The color is dark brown.
Smell is sweet caramel with apple cinnamon/metalic scent with burnt sugar.
The taste is sweet caramel with soft fruit tones like apple.
The mouthfeel is enjoyable, not great, but enjoyable.
The drinkability is fine, if I could find more I would have more.

Dec 23, 2007 330 ml bottle from Pizza Port. Garnet red with almost no head. Aroma of caramel, sugar, and grapes. Satiny smooth palate, as advertised. Taste commensurate with aroma. Decent.

Dec 19, 2007 Was surprised to find out this one was a barley wine. Pours a dark brown color with amber lacing and a big puffy head. Smells of raisens, dark fruit, sugar, and malt. Taste is about the same. Reminds me more of a belgian ale more specifically raisen d’etre from DFH. Really nice beer and an intersting take on the barley wine.

Dec 18, 2007 A wonderful barleywine with sweet, malty flavors and wine-like complexity. A long lasting finish, and a good warmth due to the high alchohol % (8.5%). Highly recommended in my opinion.

Dec 9, 2007 Very fruity aroma with a little bit of a musty smell. The flavor is very light wine taste, almost like a wine cooler. A little bit of burnt caramel and a fruit flavor that i can’t put my finger on.
