Jan 22, 2008 Pours deep amber into a snifter. Offwhite head recedes with no lacing. Smoked malt aromas. Smoked sour caramel from front to back with a dry hop finish. More like a stout than a barley wine.

Dec 31, 2007 Really dark amber color. Smei-thick off-white head. Vague slightly fruity malt smell. Similar taste. Snickers taste: caramel/chocolate. Not really complex for a barley wine.

Dec 21, 2007 12oz bottle shared courtesy of weeare138. Bottle labeled bottled on June ’05. Poured a deeper orangish / amber colo with a small sized off white head. Aromas of caramel, toasted malts, and lightly roasty. Tastes follow suit with more toastiness and overall weaker than the aromas. Thin body.

Nov 29, 2007 Pours a four finger off-white head that goes slowly and leaves some lace. Light carbonation and medium bodied. Deep mahogany color. Nose is earthy. Flavor is balanced some sweetness with bitter coffee. Lingering bitter finish. Different from the usual barleywine, ABV is low for a barleywine. Don’t buy this expecting something like Mirror Mirror. As previous rater put it: "easily drinkable, yet easily forgettable". $1.75 for a 12oz bottle from Colonial Spirits, Acton, MA.

Nov 14, 2007 Bottle from Goldtwins - Thanks! Pours a dark amber with a medium off-white head. Nice lacing. Aroma is sweet with malts and dark fruits. Pleasant. Flavor is caramel and chocolate, rather roasty and no hops or alcohol present. Starts off a bit wet before the tail of roasty malts. Easily drinkable, yet easily forgetable.

Nov 12, 2007 (bottle - 22 oz) Murky copper color with a lot of creamy tan foam. Aroma is light, sweet, and malty. Lots of caramel dominate the aroma with some bready malts near the end. Flavor is almost non-existent. Light bitterness at the beginning with a very watery middle and a sour and bitter finish and a very cloying bitterness at the end.
