Jun 8, 2008 Updated: Feb 25, 2009Bottle shared by mmtmatrix. Poured a deep ruby-brown color with a moderate off-white head that faded to a layer and left some lacing. Aroma of sweet maltiness with some caramel and light hops, including citrus. Sweet malts with some decent plum/grape flavor and moderate caramel lead into a moderate hop bitterness with some oxidization. Smooth, moderate bitterness. A pretty solid barley wine.

Jun 13, 2008 Pour was very dark amber, almost black, with a thick tan head. Aroma was of caramel malt and a hint of hops. Flavor was more hop dominated with a lot of caramel notes. Thick full bodied brew that was real smooth. Good. Would buy again.

Apr 19, 2008 Aroma is very pleasing, malty, with a candy-sugar thing happening. The appearance is attractive, a brown/ruby color with a persistent tan head. The taste is very sweet, malty, with a generous amount of hops. The finish is almost all hoips, nice balance to the sweetness of the beer. The mouthfeel is thick, almost syrupy. Nice, respectable barley wine.

Mar 5, 2009 Sweet fruity caramel aroma. Dark amber with a small head. Nice flavor of dried fruit, molasses followed by a dry hop bitterness. Well worth a try.

Jan 21, 2009 THOUGHTS: A good beer, but not incredible or anything. Not really the best barley wine. It was missing that special Barley Wine smell and taste.
TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a clear, dark red with a small, off-white head that mostly diminished, but left good lacing. The lace was thin, but there was lots of it. The aroma was moderate caramel malt, moderate pine hops, cherry, red wine, alcohol and ever so slight Band-aid. The flavor started out very sweet and finished rather bitter with a little sweetness. There was caramel, a little chocolate, brown sugar, a little cherry, a little alcohol, and pine hops at the end. The medium to full body was a little syrupy and sticky on the lips with soft carbonation and a light astringent and light alcoholic finish.
