Feb 19, 2006 Draught at the brewpub. Ruby colour, small head. Port-like aroma where the added honey is rather evident. Sweet and thick with massive body and soft mouthfeel. Caramel and syrup dominates, but some grapefruit shines through. Salty finish.

Mar 1, 2006 Very deep mahogany colour. The aroma is rich with alcohol, wood, rum, pears...calvados, really, and Christmas fruitcake. Sweet, a bit oily with a molasses, wood, port and demerara profile. The alcohol, shockingly, is a non-factor here. Very sweet finish.

Mar 9, 2005 Sampled draught at Pelican Brewing, Pacific City
Ruby mahogany color, moderate carbonation but little head. Nose of spicy hops & honey, brown sugar sweetness, lots of malt here. The flavor is good, very full bodied, spicy & a little hot. Creamy tail. Also: Strawberry, dum dums, boysenberry syrup, very oaky!

Mar 1, 2005 Draught, Toronado. Body is dark amber. Aroma is moderately malty (roasted grain, caramel), with notes of sherry and brown sugar. Flavor is heavily sweet, moderately acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is moderately sweet, moderately acidic, moderately bitter. Full body, watery/creamy texture, soft carbonation, moderately alcoholic. Surprisingly malt-heavy aroma, but not in a terribly interesting way. A little biting in the mouth. Ok.

Jan 23, 2005 On tap at the Pelican Brewery. Let me start this off by saying they charge you six dollars for a glass of this, and its only a 10oz glass, argggg, lets just say I was expecting much better. Pours a very dark brown, red hues when you hold it up to the light, with a fast falling off-white head. Taste is very sweet, big toasty richness to it, tastes of honey and brown sugar, with a big hop finish.

Mar 13, 2006 I am told this was the employees favorite out of all the vintages. I liked this one the least, that is not to say it is not a wonderful barleywine because it is, I just thought the strong flavor of honey overpowered everything and took away from the complexity of some of the other oustanding flavors of this vintage. The alcohol is also very present in this one. Very sweet mouthfeel, caramel, toffee nuttiness, fruitcake, molasses and maple syrup and of course honey. Over the top

Storm watchers was a kick in the paints and only have one of these and do not rive. Damn this will kick you in the butt. A strong barley wine that has several complex flavors. There is a strong floral aroma to this beer. A strong malty type brew. I liked this but will only have one. I need to function tomorrow.
