Barrios (852), Nashville, Tennessee, USA Sep 7, 2009 Pours a lasting film and ring of beige head with a copper body. Aromas of barley and resin hops. Caramel, resin, and cocoa flavors with a sticky, bitter finish. Balanced very well. Cavie (1317), Fort Worth, Texas, USA Sep 6, 2009 Bottle courtesy of drowland. Clear red orange pour. Lots of sweet malts and alcohol. Taste has sweet flavors as well with heavy heavy tastes. Wow....stout. jkwalking05 (1483), Arlington, Texas, USA Aug 18, 2009 Dark copper in color with a large off-white head. Aroma is of caramel, candy, brown sugar and toffee. Taste is the same with some alcohol heat. Soonah (900), Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA Aug 14, 2009 Poured a clear, dark copper color with a short, creamy off-white head. The aroma was lots of brown sugar, vanilla, malt and some light hoppiness. The flavor was dominated by chewy, toffee-like malts. Some spicy hops and a bit of citrus come out as it opens up. Medium bodied mouthfeel. Almost sticky. angrypirate06 (678), Texas, USA Aug 8, 2009 Bottle. Pours a ruby brown color with a off white foamy head. Aroma is caramel, woodiness, oak, vanilla, apples, and a hint of hops. Flavor is smooth caramel up front, then a nice hoppy astringency, mellowed out by a woody background. markwise (1132), 15 Minutes from Kuhnhenn in, Florida, USA Aug 7, 2009 Bomber from Wine Merchant Findlay, OH. Pours opaque caramel brown with an off-white head. Nose is caramel, booze, sugar, and citrus with slightly piney hops. Flavor is lots of caramel up front smoothing the way for the hop bouquet coming through. Those fade and then the caramel and booze come and leave their impression. Hops kill softly, not like a battering ram. Very smooth, medium-bodied barley wine with lingering caramel and hops. Bov (5403), Bienne, Switzerland Aug 4, 2009 from crackedkettle.com - quite clear dark brown colour, little beige foam; the nose shows a nice balance between malts and hops; mint prune and quince; full-bodied and with some sweet malt backbone; the palate remains quite velvety; bitter and long aftertaste of prunes and hops - superb and dangerously drinkable at this alcohol level Allen (1285), Switzerland Jul 31, 2009 Bottled. Courtesy of Bov. Liquorice allsorts, mint and quinces in the nose. Complex. Full bodied. Very nice. Thanks a lot Bov!
