Nov 22, 2006 I didn’t know they were goin to do these all by year, but watching the ABV you know why, changes quite a bit from year to year, glad I keep good notes. The 2005 tasted similar to the 04, caramel and light plum flavor to the malts. Finish was hoppy and set to age well. This years tasted a bit more dry then last year with a bit more alcohol showing.

Mar 13, 2006 I think I liked this one the best of all. This is a perfect winter sipper, the location is perfect, this is almost a perfect barleywine. Lots of molasses, sweet brown sugar, and some fruit complexity. Reminds me of fine Madeira, a great after dinner, that is very warming on a cold winter night.

Mar 1, 2006 Very deep mahogany colour. Abundant molasses, alcohol, añejo rum, brown sugar, burnt cherries in the nose. The body is creamy almost to the point of being flat, enlivened only by a surge of late alcoholic dryness. The flavour is sweet with brown sugar, rich toffee malts and subtle alcoholic splashes.

Feb 19, 2006 Draught at the brewpub.
Dark ruby, fairly rich head. Strong aroma of toffee and balsamic berries. Sweet and very malty with beautifully soft mouthfeel. Thick with some molasses and plenty of warming alcohol. Strong, salty bitter finish. Incredibly rich, but maybe still too sweet. Probably the best of the four Stormwatchers served at one tray, and this is not a small accomplishment.
