Apr 28, 2007 Bottle- pours a mohagany brownish red, with a small fizzy head. smells citrus hops cherry, molasses, and some whiskey. tastesberries,cherries to be exact, with a strong piney citrusy hoppy finish that is well balanced by the malty fruity sweetness. lingering brown sugar taste with some pepper/ mouthfeel is syrupy. I can see this one aging really well.

Apr 11, 2007 I have to say wasn’t a fan of barley wine but thought I would give this a shot and glad I did. Poured a tea color body and an off white head, a very nice head. smell was bitter raisins, taste was fruity and nice. For as much abv, this was a nice smooth taste.

May 26, 2008 Sampled at Cellar’s Wine & Spirits Wednesday evening beer tasting, and shared by BDR and Badgerben. From a 22-oz bomber pours a clear dark reddish amber brew with a thick off-white head that quickly dissipates to a thin ring. Aroma of light caramel malt, grapefruit and tangerine zest, and a touch of pine. Taste is medium bodied, light carbonated with flavors of chocolate, caramel, grapefruit, pine, and a touch of cinnamon. Finish is semi-sweet with a grapefruit and caramel aftertaste that lingers after the finish. A bit spicy aftertaste is also present.

Mar 18, 2008 Pours a deep ruby, amber colour with a solid one finger head that retains well and leaves densely spotted lacing. The nose consists of piney hops, citrus rind, vinous barley, and weak caramel. The alcohol presence is high, but not 10% high. The flavour is vinous, piney and has a peppery bite, most likely from the booze. The caramel malt backbone is not as strong as I’d prefer, but its definitely there. As for hop flavour, I’m not so much a fan of armarillo and the tropical citrus flavour it produces. The chinook piney bite is nice though. The texture is oily and is softly carbonated.

Mar 18, 2008 The loog is a dark amber and it is clear when put up to the light. There is a thin head that last for the entire duration of the beer and the lacing along the sides of the glass are nice and spotted. The nose is full of roated malt and barley. there are also some hints of light fruits but they are very faint. As you drink the beer you can taste alot of cracked peppercorn with some roasted barley and bitter hops. The pepper stays on your palate for a long time after you drink the beer. The finish is full of booze and pepper with those hints of dark fruit and fig.
