Oct 4, 2007 Bottle 650 ml
Appearance :Ruby, clear ale with good creamy / porous top. Decent lace left behind.
Nose :Fine refined alcohol, some roast notes. Smooth and clean , malty.7+
Flavour/Palate : Clean medium , full bodied ale. Solid malt base . Surprisingly refined for such potent brew . Sweet fruity aftertaste. At 10 % felt more like mid 8s.Neat prime example of this style. It’s more a bout clean alcohol paired with grain than hops.

Nov 14, 2009 Poured from big bottle. Wild aroma - butterscotch, apple and booze.. Copper color, tan head. Dry barley, toffee, vegetable flavor with alcohol in back. Earthy and slightly sour aftertaste. Slightly sticky feel. Alcohol doesn’t deter from flavor. Lacing. Mellows nicely. Not my favorite style, but quality stuff.

Jun 25, 2007 22 oz Bottle. Fresh. Split with friend. Pour is a deep murky purple/red. Head is just wisps of white and ring of white around the glass. Aroma is laden with spicy hops. Dry and dusty but they are well blended with a malt body of caramel candy sugar. The flavor is a pleasant blend of big sweet malt and cleansing spicy hops. An interesting beer. Not sure I would call it an English style BW, but I can see the reasoning with the dusty hops as opposed to the juicy resiny American hops.

Dec 31, 2007 There’s a lot of fruit up front in the nose with orange and apricot between the hops and yeast-produced fruitiness. There’s a relatively slight bitterness in the finish. Pretty tasty.

Aug 27, 2007 Rich ruby in colour, lingering tan coloured head, some patchy lacing. The aroma is very hoppy, some citrus, quite herbal, some alcohol, caramel sweetness, very fresh. The flavour is very hoppy again, moderate alcohol, light spice, lots of caramel, huge amount of citrus. Rich and chewy mouthfeel, medium/large body, high carbonation. Finishes long, very warm, some citrus. A hot and hoppy barley wine, quite good. It made me more and more thirsty as I drank this. Fantastic aroma, quite smooth.

Apr 27, 2007 Ken’s Thirsty Thursday Throw Down - Clear dark amber, thin lightly tanned head. Dank fruity hop nose with softer toffee and caramel tones. Pulls out some lighter vinous notes upon further warming. Flavor was front loaded with dark fruity tones and huge sweet hop notes. Falls a bit to the sweet side of balance. Medium to full bodied, soft slick carbonation, light bittersweet finish. Enjoyable now, but some age might do it wonders....

Nov 29, 2008 Bottle from jjpm74. Pours a dark amber with nice big off-white head. Carmalized sugar with some bread on the nose. Flavor is caramel with hints of spice and some nice hop chunks to it. Nice thick body with good dried fruit tones that finish this gem off.

Aug 19, 2007 22 oz bottle. Man, this shit is hoppy. It does burn the back of the mouth with stinging hops. There’s quite a bit of maltiness to try to balance it out, Some smoky tobacco as well.
