Jul 8, 2008 Draft at Ginger Man. Pours a dark brown with a off white head. Aroma of sweet malt, fruit, and a little hops. Nice caramel and heavy malt sweetness. Hides the alcohol very well. Solid Barley.

Jul 3, 2008 Draft at Ginger Man. Pours a mahogany brown body with a lighter head. Aroma is sweet malty with lots of hops and booziness. Some caramel and chocolate sweetness but the hop character with the poorly hidden etoh i am not a fan.

Jul 2, 2008 Bottle into snifter. Deep ruby amber with a thin off white head. Rich cereal malt aroma with hoppy resin notes, a bit of alcohol is detectable in the nose. Taste is very sweet malt with a lot of bitterness for balance. Also, there is caramel, chocolate, and dark fruits. Mouthfeel is chewy and creamy, and finishes bitter with some detectable alcohol. Overall, pretty good, drinkable barley wine that is accessible to those who haven’t really developed the palate for this style, and yet interesting enough to be pleasing to the beernerd.

Jul 2, 2008 Bottle. Rich malt aroma with resin. Dark amber color with a white smear for head. Medium plus body with creamy carbonation. Flavor is sugar, roasted malt, and some hop bitter - not able to detect type though. Finish is sweet, but not overly so. There’s enough bitter to say almost balanced. Very smooth, very tasty.

Jun 29, 2008 deep mahogany copper color, some decent head, nose is hoppy, some resin and pine, also alcohol and like molassis caremel, flavor is roasty, resin, kinda chewy molassis again on the finish. Intresting barely wine showed its alcohol at the finish.

Jun 28, 2008 Reddish amber color out of the bottle with a whispy off white head. Dark sugar, juicy dark fruit and alcohol in the nose. Flavors of pit fruit, candi sugar, caramel, toffee, and orange zest in the finish. I really felt the ABV more than tasted it.

Jun 25, 2008 This bottled brew from JSquire at a rating party poured a small sized head of foamy finely sized tan mostly diminishing colored bubbles that left behind a softly carbonated transparent red brown colored body and a poor lacing. The aroma was softly floral with hop and malt notes. The mouth feel was tingly from start to finish. The flavor contained notes of barley-wine like hops and malts. Hehe not a great description of a Barley wine "Uh its like a barely wine!" DOH must have had a few to drink by then Lil.
