A hazy amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with primary notes of caramel, but also hints of alcohol. The flavor is sweet malty again with caramel being most dominant, but also the alcohol showing itself off with a slight burn.

2006 Bottle. Good malty aroma and clear brown color and thin head, slight swrill. Good flavor that is slightly hoppy. Hints of cherry/raspberry aftertaste(good but odd). Smooth with a little alcohol burn. Pretty good barley wine.

Bottled. Amber coloured. Uncelar. Light brown head. Sweet and fruity aroma. Alcohol and some vinous notes. Quite dense. Flavour is somewhat spiced. Is quite herbal and full of alcohol. Fruits. Medium to full bodied. Alcoholdense herbal bitterness in end. Long lasting. Thanks to Sammy for this.

Brown body with red accents and an average beige head. Aroma of dark fruits and bready malt. Flavor is similar to aroma at ifrst but with a little bitter hop finish. Not bad but something not quite right in the balance.... the hop character mixing strangely with the bready maltiness.

Bottled. Hazy copper coloured. Almonds, toffee and marzipan aroma. Very sweet and very alcoholic flavour and finish. Rather unbalanced and uncomplex for a barley wine.

22 oz bomber: An interesting brew. Good, but not great. Something about it wasn’t quite right. Don’t know how to describe it, but somthing just wasn’t quite what it should be. Not exactly skunked, but just off. A little too bitter, despite a malty flavor.
