Nice tan head. Sediment is still apparent. Complex aroma. Woody aroma with heavy aged flavors. Some caramel and sweet aromas also. Very nice. Glorious taste. Wonderful taste of carmelized sugars, wood and aged hops. Having aged this bottle for 2 years, it is vastly superb. shigadeyo (2263), Harrison, Ohio, USA

There is some sugary malt as well. This beer a cloudy golden-amber/brown. It has an ivory-colored head that leaves some good lacing. This medium-bodied beer has an average palate. Overall this is a decent American-style Barleywine.

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jul 22, 2009 Thanks to Sam for this one, rating #600! This looks very nice in the glass, a deep almost velvet red with small, tight, but good head that leaves some lace. The aroma is cherries, alcohol, and some sweet malt, very cordial like. This is one of the better barley wines I’ve tasted with nice deep cherry flavors, some chocolate, a bit of spiciness perhaps left over from the hops, and just a touch of brandy.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 22, 2009 Had the aroma of chocolate, cherries and caramel. The flavor was very surprising (in a good way) and was very smooth with lots of chocolate, a little bit of alcohol, and hops. Haven’t had many BWs in the past, but this one is definitely high up on my list for them.
