Feb 25, 2001 What impressed me 1st about this beer was the intense hoppiness and bitter after taste, what I look forward to in a beer. From your 1st sip this beer says ’hello!’. I can’t imagine how much better this beer get with age, I’ll have to buy a case and find out for myself (if I can hold it for that long and not drink it).

Jan 23, 2002 2001: ’These go to eleven’ (-Spinal Tap). Extreme (ridiculous?) amounts of hops and malt just turn up the volume with this brew. The nose is stong and floral. The intense bitter hop flavor comes through immediately, but is well supported by a rich, malt body. You can perceive the alcohol in the palate, which intensifies an already powerful taste. Not great with most foods, but a perfect dessert beer. Love this stuff because it is over the top.

Aug 1, 2003 Dark amber, nice head. Hop-fruity (apricot) aroma and flavour with a touch of chocolate. Full-bodied. Long bitter aftertaste. Excellent beer. I want more.

Jul 12, 2002 Best barleywine that I’ve had. Potent, but still tastes like beer (unlike Old Foghorn...great, but more like Sherry than beer)
