| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Dec 4, 2007 Bottle. Pours clear brown, with a thin tan head. Impressive burnt malt and alcohol aroma. Super sweet, with a caramel flavor and less alcohol than in the aroma. Very smooth, with a decent finish for such a sweet beer. kseecs16 (887), Naperville, Illinois, USA

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 29, 2008 Pours brown with a medium white head. Strong caramel and raisin aroma.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 25, 2007 22 oz bottle from JB175. Nice copper color, aroma of hops and dark brown sugar. Flavor is typical barley wine deliciousness. Nice hop bite on this one. My only complaint was a rather harsh flavor as it goes down. Not really an alcohol burn, more of a strange carbonation issue. Anyway, still a pretty good BW. GMCC2181 (871), Bear/Elkton, Delaware, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 8, 2008 Bottle shared by Robert at SL. Color was light brown, decent head. Smelled sweet. The flavor was floral hops/citrus and pine. It also had a great fruity taste to it. It was really carbonated. Good Barley wine. Thanks Robert for letting me try this!

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 9, 2009 Aroma is very malty and roasty. Pours a dark copperish brown with tan head. Nice strong malt flavor dominates the palate at first, morphing into a sweet note that fades quickly. Not the most memorable Barleywine - but not the worst either. Could use some more hops.

Caramel, resin, and cocoa flavors with a sticky, bitter finish. Balanced very well. nolankowal (854), Columbus, Ohio, USA
