Jan 6, 2006 2005 bottle. Lovely dark amber color with a thin white head. Brown sugar, plum, and vanilla in the aroma. Alcohol sort of dominates the flavor of this one but there is some hints of dark fruit in the background and more vanilla. There is no mention of bourbon barrel aging on the label but it does have a bourbon like quality about it. As the beer warms I have a harder time trying to get through it. The alcohol presence is too much and damn near drowns out everything else. Not my favorite barleywine. Eventually poured out.

Nov 1, 2004 I drank a 22 ounce bomber while home brewing. Heavy fruit (apple) and alcohol nose. Thanks to its low bubbles had an iced tea appearance. At first the cold beer had an overbearing alcohol taste. However, as the barley wine warmed the taste became sweeter. Mild hop bitterenss, but a buxom mouthfeel. Drinking 22 ounces gave me a numbing effect.

Jul 30, 2005 I have had my bottle for some time, not even sure how long. Poured Deep amber, with a off white creamy head. Aroma of earth, wood, vanilla, bourbon. Taste had all plus caramel. The alcohol was present, almost a distraction.

Jan 2, 2009 I picked this up at Discount Liquors in Milwaukee. 2007 bottle. Deep Red pour with a creamy head that coats the glass. Candied fruit nose, with a bit of light hops. Rich, butter scotchy, caramelly, fruity flavor. Creamy, thick mouthfeel. The alcohol is very well hidden. Really mellow and well-balanced barely wine, and its Pretty good to drink.
