Jul 1, 2007 Aroma is complex, with fruits and malts both very powerful. Taste is the same. Very fruity and floral, but a hint of something like raisins. Notes of caramel. Interesting, with a relatively light mouthfeel for a barley wine. Alcohol is not too apparent for 8.5%. Really very good.

Jun 26, 2007 Bottle. Small white head into slightly sparkling brown body. Aromas of pear, strong vinousness, and malts. Satin mouthfeel that is advertised is correct. But I must confess if I didn’t read that this was a barely wine I would have guessed wrong. Still a good beer.

Jun 24, 2007 12 oz. Bottle at Waldo Pizza, Kansas City, MO. Pour is a deep red / brown with almost no head. Aroma is a big, roast, caramel sweet malt. The taste is more of the malt, though the sweetness is more subdued than I would have guessed. Overall, a nicely done Barley wine.

Jun 22, 2007 Bottle. Deep copper to brown pour. Rich malty aroma and flavor with a good amount of residual sweetness. Alcohol is well-disguised, but it can definitely be a skull-splitter as easily as it goes down. Good scottish beer.

Jun 19, 2007 Intense aroma, huge caramel, smoke, vanilla. Pours a dark amber/brown. Smooth flavor. Surprisingly light, at 8.5% this is very dangerous. Easy to drink.

Jun 19, 2007 Pours a clear reddish brown with a small white head. Smells a little fruity with a big malty backbone. The taste is slightly syrupy, with a good dose of cinnamon and brown sugar. Its actually quite a sweet beer, but finishes pretty crisp and clean. A nice beer to have one and done with. i wouldnt want a whole 4 pack of this. The alcochol is actually pretty noticeable in the finish. The aftertaste is malts and sugar.
