Jul 4, 2008 Bottle in English Pint. Pours a dark brownish-red, with a small tan head. No lacing. Aroma of fresh bread and/or chocolate cake. Flavor is dominated by malts: chocolate, some coffee, and fruit. Palate is smooth and creamy, just a touch dry, but not overly. Overall a very good beer..highly drinkable.

Jul 2, 2008 V - clear reddish brown color with a moderate off white head
A - mix of hops and dark malts, spices, fruits. oats a bit, but the dark fruit spices really come through with some brown sugar notes.
T - dark fruits and spice. reminds me of a marzen.
P - wonderfully smooth. Didn’t know this was considered a barleywine, but it fits perfectly with the more higher rated BWs.

Jun 28, 2008 11.2 oz bottle from Whole Foods Charlottesville. Two-finger frothy head sits atop a red beer. Decent lacing and retention. Rich malty aroma with brown sugar and dark fruit notes. Very malty taste. Dark fruits and an interesting sourness in the finish.

does not count  Jun 26, 2008 I was very surprised that this one didn’t have a dryer flavor. The aroma is thick, sweet and slightly fruity, with hints of dark fruit and molasses. The color was outstanding, a deep, rich dark mahogany. A fantastic beer, over all.
