Dec 11, 2006 650ml Bottle @ Decemberfest 2006: Poured cloudy and copper, zero head. Aroma of floral hops, caramel, malts, and fruit. Lots of alcohol in the flavour, covered by caramel and malts, and a good hoppy back end. Good all around, surprising hoppiness.

Mar 22, 2008 22 oz. bomber served in my Smuttynose snifter. Pours a gorgeous deep ruby coppery color with a small off white head. This is one beautiful looking brew. Nose is piney & floral with a slight medicinal background. Palate is thick and chewy with mild carbonation. Taste is at first sip, piney & floral, but later flavors remind you of dark alcohol laced candies. Brew becomes a little bitter as you get into it. Pretty similiar to the Smuttynose Wheat Wine.

Jan 12, 2008 Pours opaque reddish amber with modest head. Fruity aroma with malt and sweet caramel notable. Upon first taste, I was blasted with alcohol, but as I drank more it mellowed out significantly. Flavour was sweet with alcoholic notes with a malt foundation. Just a bit too alcoholic tasting for my likes.

May 12, 2008 2007 bottle: Pours a hazy, rust red color with a small khaki head that leaves a ring around the glass. Crazy hop aroma with the background spicy caramel maltiness of a barley wine. Wow, the finish made me forget the initial taste at first, it’s so loaded with alcohol and hops, warms the belly, throat and nose, leaving a slight dryness. The initial taste does have a nice sweet and thick caramel malt character.

Sep 29, 2005 Pours a light amber/copper with a medium white head. Lighter bodied with a nice balanced sweetness to hop ratio. Not overly thick and sweet but easily drinkable with a mellowed alcohol taste. This bottle was aged a bit so some of its initial hotness has been burnt off leaving a very nice mellowed barleywine.

Sep 7, 2009 Pours a dark amber with beige head, some floaters. Sweet caramel malt aroma, floral hops, booze. Similar taste, very syrupy with a booze/bitter hop finish. Very warm in my belly. Great barley wine.

Oct 6, 2003 Rich, vibrant blood orange colour. Rich malty nose (brown sugar, peaches, biscuits, stroop). Thick body showing alcohol (stronger than the 7% indicated), peaches, oranges, and loads of earthy, sticky malt like sponge toffee. Sweet finish.
