Oct 2, 2009 Had a pint on draft at The Red Square in Burlington, VT. I enjoyed this brew a whole bunch and was surprised to see a sub-3 rating. Pours a rich, dark brown with a medium head. Nose is roasted malts and hints of hop. Flavor is complex, not surprisingly, dazzling the palette with the myriad sensations. Notes of caramel, chocolate and coffee. Finish is very smooth. I want to try this beer again.

Aug 27, 2009 Deep but clear cherry red. A finger of rose-white head. Depth of a red wine. Slow carbonation.
An initial gritty whiff of scotch ale-like grain. Second whiff of sweet grape and coffee/mocha. A barleywine mixed with a porter. Bitter but not brutal. Smoky.
The taste is burnt porter-like malt bitterness; a secondary hit of dark grape and berry. Thick tobacco leaf. It’s unusually bitter; closer in flavor to a dark porter than a barleywine.
Ashy and smooth both. A bit dry/ashy for style though. A deep, rich, dry and bitter barleywine ale. Coffee + grape + tobacco.

Aug 15, 2003 Great drinkability. It keeps me coming back for more. That's the problem, my wife banned me from this beer due to what overconsumption of a 7.5% will do!

Jun 17, 2006 Rock Art perfected the Barley Wine. Wonderful flavor, great appearance. Smooth, slightly sweet, with a lingering appealing aftertaste. One of my favorites

Mar 14, 2007 I would hardly consider this to be a Barley Wine. That being said this is one of my favorite Vermont

Jun 20, 2008 Dark and pretty full bodied for the style, this has some kick. Not my thing for summer drinking but on tap this was an eye opener. Probably sweeter for a b-wine, it doesnt stack up to the greats of the style but there is nothing bad I can say.

Oct 30, 2005 Under-rated here, I think. Coffee-colored, light porter color, tight-bubbled tan head. taste chocolate milk, coffee, nuts, mild but assertive hop presence. Smooth coating finish. Brilliant.
