May 25, 2007 Sper cool name. Average brew. I had this at the Herot. I was impressed with its power, but the taste, as someone else already pointed out isnt real fresh. But it is heavy and I like that. Expect high malt and fizzy.

May 20, 2007 Dark brown color; big head. Caramel aroma, sweet, oxydized. Medium body structure, some malt and a lot of caramel, some liquorice, light roasted malt; the flavors are well mixed but it’s oxydized and not fresh.

May 19, 2007 12 oz bottle, via STEPHENDR. Pours a clear dark copper colored body with a few small floaties under a smallish fizzy off-white head that fell to a partial covering. Aroma is sweet malt with a light peat and smoke accent. A little alcohol and port like note as well. Flavor is all malt, peated malt specifically. Moderate risidual sweetness, light alcohol, and a little graininess on the finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a fairly thick, almost syrupy, texture and moderate very fizzy carbonation. Overall, this was OK, but a little lacking in depth. Still a fine sipper though.

May 9, 2007 The color was a nice deep red/orange. The head was thin, light biege, and fizzy. The aroma was tart, fruity, alcohol, wine-like, and sweet. The flavor was sour/bitter, a little alcho, but it wasn’t as strong in flavor as your typical barleywine. The palate was nicely carbonated with a thin/medium body. The finish was warm.

May 8, 2007 I thought I’d stray from my usual English and Irish selection to try some brews from Scotland. This was a decent one, though not one of my favorites by any means. A bit metallic and not as smooth as I would have liked.

May 8, 2007 Poured a dark amber but lacking the thickness or consistency of a good BW. The head is medium thin, light tan, and frothy. The aroma resembles that of a Barley Wine but lacks the complexity and depth. Has a malty sweetness, dry alcohol, vinous notes. Tastes sweet and dry, also a bit vinous but lacking complexity. The palate was a bit thin. The finish was dry and sweet. Overall not a bad beer just not up to barleywine standards.

May 7, 2007 Shared bottle with Brewfiend. Pours a dark amber brew with a small off-white head. Aroma of caramel, toffee, roasted barley malt, raisin and some red wine. Taste is sweet, lightly carbonated, smoky and a semi-dry finish. Did not pick up any hops in the finish. Great sipping barley wine.
