| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Oct 9, 2009 The bottle says ale. This website says barley wine. All I know is this is a nice beer. Doesn’t make much of a head. Has a nice aroma but little body. Has an apricot aftertaste. Surprisingly easy to drink. DeadGirl (243), West Palm Beach, Florida, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 8, 2009 Updated: Oct 18, 2009Pour from the 12oz. bottle into a pint glass: Malty. Alcohol fairly well hidden with more sips taken. Tastes of dark fruit, brown sugar, molasses and faint spices. Leaves the palatte feeling chalky. A good barley wine, but definitely not my favorite. Drinkability: Dangerously drinkable. Rebuy: As it is for most barley wines... Yes. DG #132 on 08102009, DG. TaktikMTL (2786), Montréal-Nord, Quebec, Canada

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 3, 2009 A big well crafted Barley wine. Viscous and satisfying with quite a bit going on. toffee, caramel, dark fruits etc. Almost borders on workmanlike, but keeps drawing me back for another sip. KyotoLefty (1465), Kyoto, Japan
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Sep 22, 2009 2 months past the expiration date. I didn’t know it wasn’t bottle conditioned…
Lovely, fine, tall head. Beer very dark brown with orange. Caramel, raisin, cookies, plus a bit of sherry in the nose. Very sweet flavor, chocolate and caramel, cherry, with a rather harsh bitter burnt finish. Rich and thick. Decently tasty but not put together as well as it could be.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 11/20 | Sep 15, 2009 330. Capped and foiled. Pours a crystal clear garnet that looks almost opaque from the right angle. Dense. Nice creamy tannish head with stringy lace, unfortunately doesn’t hang around for long. Caramel, brown sugar, molasses, a wee bit of campfire, doughy malts, and dates on the nose. Somewhat sticky, rather flattish body. Caramel, brown sugar, molasses, campfire, doughy malts, and dates all return for the mid-palate. Fairly mild finish, especially given the malt payload here. No sign of the alcohol. Or the hops, for that matter.
