Oct 5, 2008 Bottle courtesy of Ibrew2or3. Pours a clear amber with a one finger light tan head that leaves good lacing. Aroma of caramel, spicy hops, and sweet malt. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium mouthfeel with a moderate amount of bitterness and smooth alcohol. Not the best from Southern Tier but still a solid brew.

Oct 4, 2008 Sampled from a 22 oz brown bottle this beer poured a chestnut color with a small tan head. The aroma was a complex mix of sweet malts, pineapple, pear, apple, caramel and bourbon. A bit heavy on the alcohol though on the nose. The flavor was sour, lightly bitter and had notes of fruity hops, caramel and nut. The finish was short, sour and malty. Good but not great.

Sep 30, 2008 22oz bottle. Pours a completely hazed ruby brown with a small beige ring. Nose was mostly toasted and caramel malts with some pine and booze. Flavor was again very sweet and malty with a light hop bite. Finish was sweet and a lot less bitter than expected.....a great Barley Wine.

Sep 26, 2008 22 oz. bottle. 2008 vintage. Pours a dark leather color. Thin, off white head. Aroma of dark fruits, brown sugar, piney hops, and warming alcohol. Medium mouthfeel. Flavor is quite a treat. Very nice balance between the caramel malts and hops. This beer seems to mellowing a bit and it’s quite nice. Alcohol isn’t too over the top in the finish, which is great for my strike zone. Slightly bitter finish that lingers for a some time.

Sep 22, 2008 A rough pour gave a cascade of bubbles racing towards the surface of this creamy red-amber brew. Aroma is strong of hop characteristics: citrus, flowers, and a little caramel maltiness. The alcohol is present
in the aroma towards the back. Happily, this barley wine (repeat barley wine) is not dominated by the hops. Sure, I like hops as much as the next guy, but I don’t care for them in every beer I drink. This has a viscous sweet malty palate that sticks in there after each sip. Of course there is some hop bitterness, but its blends nicely with the alcohol sneaking up on you for the finish.
