Mar 9, 2008 Whoa! Big ole hoppy bitch here gang. 22 oz. brown bomber bottle. No freshness date seen, but none needed at this high an ABV either. Columbus hops assault your nose as soon as it’s opened. Poured out a deep amber color, sticky tan head, exceptional clarity. It has to be filtered. Too bad, because that means it won’t age worth a shit. Better drink it young. Aromas include Columbus hops, sweet malts, some yeast. Flavors are of sweet malts, burnt sugars, hops.
Medium mouthfeel, average for a Barleywine. No burning alcohols, bonus points for that. Finished well balanced, which surprised me entirely.

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.

May 6, 2007 This is a barley that I enjoyed. Dark reddish brown - thin head. Sweet malty aroma with caramel and booze. Palate is very sweet, syrupy thick. And I like that they balance it more than some with the hops.

Nov 22, 2009 Moderately strong and extremely hoppy aroma of grapefruit, honeycomb, and pineapple.Clear mahogany color, medium tan head, some lacing. Full body, not syrupy, alcohol present but tasteful. Strong initial flavor of rose hips, honeycomb, and triple sec,. A bit of oak at midpalate, ending in horehound. Great balance and transitions. Easy drinking and intense at the same time. I don’t know how the hell they do it. Masterfully done!

Jun 15, 2009 I’m not a big fan of the barley wines, but the is a deadly brew. Smooth and very easy to drink. At 10%, thats a tough combonation.

Sep 26, 2007 Dark purple pour, small white head. Aroma is dark berries. Flavor is caramel, berries, chocolate, and a touch of roasted malt. Caramel lingers in the aftertatse bigtime. Lots of fresh leafy hops but low on bitterness. Creamy mouthfeel with some smoke in the finish as well.

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.
