May 30, 2006 2006: usual reddish brown body. Small to moderate head, decent to good lacing on the glass. Good aroma here, lotsa fruity hops with a big caramel malt base. Flavor was less impressive though. Felt off balance and there was quite a bit of alcohol in the finish. Not drowned in it, but much more than I prefer. Bitter finish with a syrupy mouthfeel. Not bad overall.

Sep 10, 2008 Slightly bigger hop flavor than what I’m used to. Cloudy dark orange color. Fruity plum aroma. Slightly hot alcohol flavor. Full bodied with a slightly chalky texture and finish.

Aug 9, 2006 Sampled a 2003 vintage, thanks to RichLikeBeer. The oxidation was fairly present in this one but it worked well with the big malt profile that I tasted in this beer. I really could pick up on much hops at all, and that would be the biggest downfall to this brew, but maybe they ae a little more present in fresher bottles. Overall it was a pretty good beer.

Feb 21, 2008 On tap @ Coles Buffalo NY. Pors a stunning deep brown amber. Big sweet hop aroma. Started off a little harshwith an alcohol burn but got much better as it warmed up. Piney hops, brown sugar toffee. Pretty good

Nov 18, 2005 Smooth, chewy, weighty. Sweet-smelling. Malts were sweet, with notes of chocolate-covered caramel and syrup. Very warming and cozy. Grassy bitterness. Perhaps a little oxidized, but it didn’t bother me so much under all the other weight.

Apr 8, 2004 Beer pours copper color with red highlights and has a fairly small rapidly diminishing off white head. Aroma is sweet malt with a nice dose of hops thrown in. A bit floral and aged in the nose. Flavor is initally pretty sweet. Finish is a bit purfumey from the hops. Decent.

Jul 24, 2004 Deep reddish orange. Thin creamy and resilient head. Nose has maple, lots of caramel, quite malty, typically barleywine sweet. Sweet and malty, some hops, a bit sour. Isn’t quite as full as I’d like. Alcohol also a mite overly noticeable. Decent.
